The disconcerting poet, landscape architect and member of parliament from Trás-os-Montes makes his debut at “Quintas de Leitura”. Celeste Pereira, Teresa Coutinho, Isaque Ferreira and Rui Oliveira (voiceand loop station) will do the readings, which include some of his most iconic poems (“Um congresso em Montesinho” [A Congress in Montesinho], “Se ao menos nevasse” [If Only It Would Snow], “Se o poema”[If the Poem] and “Os constrangimentos da crítica” [The Constraints of Criticism], among others). Beetwen readings, the magic and sound clarity of Calcutá, the solo project of Teresa Castro, guitar player, vocalist, drummer and everything. Mariana, a Miserável, drawing inspiration from our guest’s poetic universe, will once again take us by surprise with her mind-boggling images. There will still be time for a poetic performance by Paulo Condessa called “A vida secreta das metáforas” [The Secret Life of Metaphors]. Sérgio Castro— leadsinger, songwriter and composer of the legendary Trabalhadores do Comércio — will bring the session to an end.
