Synopsis A walk with a microphone around a monument: that's how this project began in 2022. Vozes do Rossio proposes the construction of a polyphonic sound installation based on a series of interviews with people who live their lives in the vicinity of the Monument to D. Pedro IV, in Rossio. During the performance, Vicente Antunes Ramos will revisit the voices of the people he interviewed over the years. As he walks through the installation with the same instrument from his walk through the square, the microphone, he will mix these voices live, a choreography of their stories, intertwining individual memories, colonial episodes, and contemporary experiences of displacement. Vozes do Rossio questions notions of belonging, colonialism, and memory, confronting official discourses inscribed in monuments. Faced with the silence of the statue, it is an invitation to listen: from cries that found countries to the echoes of memory of those who walk before these symbols. Talk with artists on February 28.
