music
In a messy space for experimentation, where individual reflection meets collective restlessness, scream and silence are confused in the possibility of awakening. Through the performative union of light, video, voice and electronic music, Psiconáutica makes a sensory cartography of the human psyche and questions states of collective numbness and social alienation. To realize this show, multidisciplinary artist Sara Marita recruited Bee Barros to take on the multimedia, light and video component, and Inês Marques Fernandes to explore voice and performance. Embracing the speed and disorganization that occurs inside our heads whenever we think, artists and show enter a crossroads of research and expression, between wakefulness and dreaming, seeking to recreate fragments of memories, concerns, realities and surrealisms.
Moving at the intersections between music, sound design, multimedia and performance, Sara Marita is dedicated to creating narratives that cross different artistic languages and formats. With a degree in Composition and a Master’s in Theater – Performing Arts, Sara combines these passions with audiovisuals. A member of the Orí Association and a member of MUTIM – Mulheres Trabalhadoras das Imagens em Movimento, she created the play Abre a Boca e Fecha os Olhos! (2023) and co-created Devaneio (2021-2023), with Aoaní Salvaterra and Sofia Pádua. She also composed the soundtrack for the short film Menor que três, by Cláudio Monteiro, Dan Martin, Mariana Cabecinha and Sofia Pádua and, as a sound designer and sound operator, she worked on the project Kabeça, by Aoaní Salvaterra and Joyce Souza. She also collaborates with the companies Teatro GRIOT, Lobby Teatro, SoWing-arts and Teatro do Vazio.
radiografia
In response to the emergence of a number of young composers in Braga, and as a foretaste of the city’s artistic future, gnration presents Radiografia, a perspective on Braga’s newest and most interesting composers, which has already presented new works by composers such as Pedro Lima, João Carlos Pinto, Jorge Ramos or Inês Malheiro. Anchored in the vast field of contemporary music, the works of the different authors point to different coordinates, from operatic to acousmatic music, and to different types of interpretation, from solos to large-scale ensembles.
