The Futurama – Cultural and Artistic Ecosystem of the Baixo Alentejo is pleased to invite you to attend the first open rehearsal of the Futurama Alentejo Cante Group, taking place on 25 November at 6:00 pm, at the UNESCO Club in Beja.
The Futurama Alentejo Cante Group is a project dedicated to artistic creation, training and dissemination, respecting the tradition of Cante Alentejano while reimagining it. Its original repertoire features 33 contemporary modas, created as part of Cantexto, an initiative that commissions new poems each year from Portuguese-language writers.
Musical direction and rehearsals are led by Celina da Piedade and Paulo Ribeiro, two prominent figures in Cante Alentejano. The costumes, an essential element of the performance's artistic identity, were designed by Axelle Camille, and the group also features a bespoke stage design created by visual artist Adriana Proganó.
The open rehearsal will begin with a conversation about Cante Alentejano, featuring Ana Santos, Paulo Ribeiro and Rui Teixeira.
This event is part of the “Patrimónios Cantados” celebrations organised by the UNESCO Club in Beja, marking the inscription of Cante Alentejano on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Date: 25 November
Time: 6:00 pm
Location: UNESCO Club – Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage (Rua do Sembrano 74, 7800-456 Beja)
