Os Músicos do Tejo and Sofia Dias and Vítor Roriz

TICKETS SOON

Os Músicos do Tejo and Sofia Dias & Vítor Roriz, united by their love of the Baroque, the 17th and 18th centuries, dance, dance music, birds, texts about dance, texts that speak of wonderful dances, dance teachers who play the violin and compose dance melodies for their students, rituals where ministers and ambassadors had to dance correctly at the very least, and elegantly at most, but without being able to compare themselves to the king with a capital K, who had the most elegant step, the perfect behaviour on which everything was modelled, to the treatises in which the unengraved was almost as beautiful as the relief burned into the ribbed paper, to the textual labyrinths, to the text turned into image, to the rhythmic repetition of words, to the excess of forms where everything is wind, flame, movement and bodies writhe in mystical ecstasy in a metamorphosis captured halfway in an eternal continuum, they wish to construct a path that can be seen from the outside, that can be sensed in the smell of whether it is right or wrong, that provokes an agitation that is at once internal and external, deep and superficial, combining music and dance in homage to those who danced to stay alive, relevant in the state of the nation-state, decisive in the art of court metaphysics, alone before the eyes of all.
