Commented concert by Susana Henriques. Lisbon Music Academy. Between Samurai and Violins proposes a musical journey inspired by the life and thought of Shinichi Suzuki, a major figure in 20th-century music pedagogy. Born into a lineage of samurai and a member of the family that owned the world's largest instrument factory, his path was marked by a late discovery of the violin, by his time in Berlin, by his friendship with Einstein and by the formulation of the 'mother tongue' principle. This concert celebrates a legacy that combines discipline, listening and affection, revealing music as a language of formation, sharing and growth. Between tradition and innovation, this concert promotes an immersive experience, capable of transforming performers and audiences on both sides of the stage.

AMAS-Aud.Mun.AntónioSilva Sintra

A theatre piece based on the true story of journalist Jean-Dominique Bauby, who after a stroke wrote The Diving Bell and the Butterfly by blinking his one working eye.

Full details

Synopsis On 8 December 1995, a stroke plunges journalist Jean-Dominique Bauby into a deep coma. When he wakes up, he discovers that all his motor functions are impaired. He is locked inside his body — he can only control the movement of one eye. It is that organ that becomes his connection to the world and to life. It is by blinking that he begins to indicate 'yes' or 'no', then moves on to signalling letters of the alphabet, building words and sentences. It is also how he will write The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, the sentences of which he memorised before dictating them. That book and this true story inspired the film starring Mathieu Amalric and directed by Julian Schnabel, which won the Best Director prize at Cannes 2007.

Show original (Portuguese)

Sinopse A 8 de Dezembro de 1995, um acidente vascular cerebral (AVC) mergulha o jornalista Jean-Dominique Bauby num coma profundo. Ao acordar, descobre que todas as suas funções motoras estão deterioradas. Está encerrado no seu corpo - apenas consegue controlar o movimento de um olho. E será esse órgão a sua ligação com o mundo e com a vida. Será a piscá-lo que começa por indicar "sim" ou "não" até avançar para a sinalização de letras do alfabeto, construindo palavras e frases. Será assim também que escreverá "O Escafandro e a Borboleta", cujas frases memorizou antes de ditar. Esse livro e este caso verídico estiveram na base do filme protagonizado por Mathieu Amalric e realizado por Julian Schnabel, que conquistou o prémio de melhor realizador em Cannes 2007.
