Synopsis

Cycle “O poema é um animal invencível, ele é a vitória da linguagem”
Programmed by João Gesta
 
A verse by poet Nuno Brito inspires this cycle of seven special sessions, included in the Feira do Livro do Porto programme.
To the sound of birdsong, words flow freely in the Palácio de Cristal Gardens.
Seven challenging, intense and varied sessions. A programme built around the celebration of the word. The spoken word, the sung word, the fluid word.
The word fills our hearts, challenging us to dream.

A poetry recital by Ana Zanatti and José Anjos featuring poems by the performers themselves, as well as classical and contemporary authors, both Portuguese and foreign, such as Jorge de Sena, Mário-Henrique Leiria, Cláudia R. Sampaio, José Carlos Barros, Ana Hatherly, Alberto Pimenta, Ana Luísa Amaral, Natália Correia, Linda Pastan, Ary dos Santos, Sophia de Mello Breyner, Mário Cesariny, and José Emílio Pacheco.
