Underneath The Juniper Tree - new children's literature

2011-08-25T23:43:00.006+01:00

Take a look at this new children's literature online magazine. They carry all the stories and illustrations that you have always wanted to hear as a kid, and never got your mom to read them to you.

They are including some of my illustrations in next month's issue. Here is a preview.

2010-12-11T11:08:00.006Z

Up the hill and down the mound, scenic contraptions populate O Bando's land in Palmela. Ravished by wind, water and earth, they are the memory of the movement they once held. Beautiful to climb, while hearing the testimony of actors, director, scenographer and theatre critics.

Opera Bufa by O Bando

2010-06-16T15:46:00.004+01:00

Two storylines: one that tells us of Dulcineia, the bride of D. Quixote, who travels the world looking for him, where the actors/dancers choreograph a cacophony of movements and the singers never touch the stage floor. The other, a story of people who can’t talk, puppets who are never left alone but for the few inter-scene pauses. The two stories interlace until D. Quixote’s found and Dulcineia is brought back to her hospital home. A play which takes inspiration from a mental hospital but is more lucid than most theatre I've seen on Lisbon's stages for a long while...

Cinderela at Montemor, Alentejo

2010-06-16T15:36:00.007+01:00

Marionetas do Porto presented Cinderela at Montemor-o-Novo's modernist cine-theatre Curvo Semedo. This is a wonderfully magical universe, three actors, one of them a music player, relate to the puppets as friends, co-authors. Truly one of the most puppet theatre companies in Portugal. No one will ever forget the frantic Seven Dwarfs jumping on Cinderela's tummy! My sincere congrats to the Associação Alma d’Arame for their warm welcome.

There's something about tradition that brings people together: church rituals, Christmas family dinners or summer balls are endured by all generations alike as part of a link that mustn't be broken through the ages. And when its setting is made out of endless hours of labouring over a single perfect flower, everyone agrees that there must be something special about the occasion, even if its meaning has been lost in time.

Algarve

Today a friend was telling me I was dressed like a Greek landscape: strong blue cardigan, white shirt and a tanned face. But those are also the colours of my country; colours impossible to describe through cloth, photos or words; the colours of my saudade inscribed as strongly in my soul as to make my body ache for its presence.
