O SILÊNCIO DE SARAMAGO

by and with Catarina Câmara

Dancer and choreographer Catarina Câmara, in collaboration with musician Gonçalo Alegre, adapts the dance and theater piece "O Silêncio de Saramago" into an audio-story. Based on Afonso Cruz's text and inspired by José Saramago's tales, the original work invites children from the age of 6 to enter Saramago's universe, exploring notions of border, pleasure, fear, and aesthetic experiences. The adaptation seeks to make the story accessible to a broader audience, to be enjoyed at home, with imagination as the guide. The challenge was to translate a multisensory show into a sound format, filling gaps left by the absence of physical movement. Gonçalo Alegre, responsible for the sound design, helped transport the atmosphere of the play to the audio-story, enriching the narrative with sounds and music. The initiative, both in the play and the audio-story, provides an artistic and educational tool, stimulating children's sensitivity and imagination for the arts.
