Do you want to be part of an innovative project rooted in tradition, that preserves and promotes Cante Alentejano through a contemporary approach? The Futurama Cante Alentejano Group is open to all genders and aims to travel across the Alentejo and the world, engaging new audiences and generations with Cante.
This group has the distinctive feature of performing exclusively contemporary modas commissioned within the scope of the Cantexto project. With its own costume design and a unique artistic identity, it establishes itself as a space for experimentation where the tradition of Cante engages in dialogue with contemporary creation.
Participation is free, with weekly rehearsals led by Celina da Piedade and Paulo Ribeiro.
