The work that we present in this edition was built with great care and dedication from all those who participated in it. It includes old and recent repertoire of the classes involved, which we decided to organize around the annual calendar and record in different spaces, seeking to recreate the environments of its realization in the tradition itself.
In line with this audio recording work, with choir, percussion, bagpipes and accordion, videos were made with the choreographies constructed and performed by the traditional dance class.
We hope that this journey through the Portuguese year – in its colors, sounds, uses and customs – pleases, entertains and inspires you.
