Over the past week in Barreiro, we’ve hosted the saxophonist and composer extraordinaire Pedro Alves Sousa, in an artistic residency at Auditório Municipal Augusto Cabrita, where the musician has been working and developing his opera/installation/performance “A Vaia Viva”, his own adaptation of Julio Cortázar’s story “Las babas del diablo”.
In this residency, the main focus is centered around the development of this composition, making use of amps and reel-to-reel tape recorders, and on Sunday the 27th, we invite everyone to a presentation of his work so far, as an open rehearsal, held at the musician’s workspace, located deep in AMAC’s backrooms.
Entry is free, and the audience must gather at AMAC’s main atrium by 5PM so that as a group, through half secret stairways and hallways, we can all meet the musician.
