Beschreibung

The tour begins in the Ateneu do Catorze, where the group gets to know the soul of this village.

We visit a church where animals are taken to be blessed in a sound landscape of Rémi Gallet.

We witness a poetic theatre performance shown in the old village cemetery, performed by Teatro Só. We explore an old farmhouse, now reborn as Cultivamos Cultura – a research centre dedicated to art and science. Here, contemporary art and biology come together within a beautiful space that once had been a barn and a winery. We listen to the rehearsals of Alentejo’s traditional singing or music of violas campaniças at “Casa do Povo” (House of the People); and, afterwards, we join a delicious dinner served at Ateneu do Catorze, once again accompanied by live music.

Ateneu do Catorze is a space transformed by several artists. From an old village building, it has become experimentation and creation studios in the areas of design, music, theatre, sculpture, installation and writing. It is an opportunity to witness how the rural nature and history of this place have been brought together with its current artistic dynamics.
