Between Samurai and Violins | Lisbon Music Academy | Commented Concerts

11:00 Centro Cultural de Belém Belém Lisbon

17,5€ Live music

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.

Full details

At Livraria Zé dos Bois, Francisco Corrêa presents an installation that is at once the last memory of a life and the first gesture of a narrative yet to be assembled. The work is part of a broader project that will find its complete form at Centro Cultural Raiano, in Idanha-a-Nova, within the partnership between the two institutions. At the centre of the installation, pigeons and arrows draw a suspended instant, like a game someone stopped halfway. The scene does not move, but pulses with the tension of an unfulfilled outcome. The viewer, arriving without warning, becomes a mute witness to that fragment, a frozen memory that no longer belongs to them, yet summons them. This is the territory of what Ana Pérez-Quiroga calls “post-trauma”: the empathy that makes us feel the pain of someone we do not know, crossed by objects that carry the life of a stranger. Quoting António Lobo Antunes, the piece asks in silence: is this a work about death or a work that denies death? The answer may lie not in the forms, but in the way memory clings to a handful of figures — the pigeons, the arrows, the title that evokes someone else’s nightmare — and resists oblivion. There are objects that become symbols, that perform the life of those who can no longer speak. What is intimate and unrepeatable becomes, for a moment, common ground. If the coming exhibition opens with a chest — the gesture that sets off a journey made of treasures, traps and biographical fragments — the installation now shown at Livraria Zé dos Bois reveals its reverse: a final memory, the last remembrance of a character that only fiction could save. Between chronicle and game, Mike Tyson’s worst nightmare invites us to remember, in the sense Eduardo Galeano returned to the word: re-cordis, to pass through the heart again. Tomás Longo. Associação Lugar de Junho.

Show original (Portuguese)

Na Livraria Zé dos Bois, Francisco Corrêa apresenta uma instalação que é, ao mesmo tempo, a última memória de uma vida e o primeiro gesto de uma narrativa por montar. A obra integra um projeto mais amplo que encontrará a sua forma completa no Centro Cultural Raiano, em Idanha-a-Nova, no âmbito da parceria entre as duas instituições. No centro da instalação, pombos e setas desenham um instante suspenso, como um jogo que alguém parou a meio. A cena não se move, mas pulsa na tensão de um desfecho por cumprir. O espetador, que ali chega sem aviso, torna-se testemunha muda desse fragmento , uma memória congelada que já não lhe pertence, mas que o convoca. É o território daquilo a que Ana Pérez-Quiroga chama «pós-trauma»: a empatia que nos faz sentir a dor de quem não conhecemos, atravessada por objetos que carregam a vida de um desconhecido. Citando António Lobo Antunes, a peça pergunta em silêncio: trata-se de uma obra sobre a morte ou de uma obra que nega a morte? A resposta talvez não esteja nas formas, mas na maneira como a memória se agarra a um punhado de figuras , os pombos, as setas, o título que evoca um pesadelo alheio , e resiste ao esquecimento. Há objetos que se tornam símbolos, que performatizam a vida de quem já não pode falar. Aquilo que é íntimo e irrepetível torna-se, por momentos, um território comum. Se a exposição que virá se abre com um baú , o gesto que despoleta um percurso feito de tesouros, armadilhas e fragmentos biográficos , , a instalação agora apresentada na Livraria Zé dos Bois mostra o seu avesso: uma memória final, a lembrança derradeira de uma personagem que só a ficção podia salvar. Entre a crónica e o jogo, Mike Tyson’s worst nightmare convida a recordar, no sentido que Eduardo Galeano devolveu à palavra: re-cordis, voltar a passar pelo coração. Tomás Longo.
