Residency, production and premiere of aCuerdas at the Teatro Municipal da Guarda TMG. The TMG, located at the foot of the Serra da Estrela and established on 25 April 2005, is equipped with the most modern facilities. It belongs to the 5 Sentidos network for cooperation in the performing arts together with several theatres – the Maria Matos in Lisbon, the Virginia in Torres Novas and the Viriato in Viseu – and the Vila Flor cultural centre in Guimarães.
AC/E is collaborating with the TMG through the mobility programme of the PICE by supporting the residency of Fátima Miranda and the staging of aCuerdas. The singer Fátima Miranda is a global artist who carries out research into the voice and the vocal music of traditional cultures. She uses her voice not only as a source of sound in song and speech, but also as a wind and percussion instrument incorporated into her own body.
‘Voice and hurdy-gurdy, nomadic instruments, redeemed and reinvented through easts and wests, genres, styles and ancestral or futurist oral traditions full of history, blaze their own trail in a fruitful dialogue, bringing us another flavour, another way of listening…, of feeling.’
