Sinopse
The collection of poems that make up the book Ardem-me no vento as costas do meu chicote reflects the evocation of atmospheres found in the author’s work. In this case, Carlos Luís Ramalhão wrote these texts over the years, always in autumn or winter, or during that long, damp, cold, grey season that so greatly influences his creative process. These are poems in which themes such as solitude and dreams feature prominently, with water as a key element – as is common in the work of this poet from Maia. It was this atmospheric quality that led Carlos Luís Ramalhão to select a collection of poems from the book and develop them into a multidisciplinary performance.

Author's bio text
Carlos Luís Ramalhão was born in 1980 in Manchester. Deeply influenced by the culture of both his city and country of birth, he grew up bilingual in Maia, experiencing first-hand both the pros and cons of living in a suburb undergoing uncontrolled development. Music inspires his verses, whilst irony sprinkles his commentary. He graduated with a degree in Journalism and Communication Sciences from the University of Porto and returned to England, to Bournemouth, to complete a master’s degree in Screenwriting. As a journalist, he has contributed to RTP, O Primeiro de Janeiro, Porto24, Expresso and Público. He has worked as a copywriter, translator and voice-over artist, amongst other roles. He is a visual artist, with exhibitions in various countries, a performer, an actor, and has been the lead vocalist for several musical projects.
