A project by Dolores Spínola and Liliana Silva
A production by Binaural Nodar in partnership with the Municipality of Vouzela.
In this joint musical and audiovisual project, the image takes us on a journey that explores the different senses, through deep-rooted memories, as well as drawing a parallel of chromatic similarities and differences, textures and flavors, between the place of departure and the place of arrival. .
The guitar is present together with some traditional instruments from the island of Madeira, in a very different way than expected, as they are instruments usually associated with “bailinho” (folk music), and in this project, they convey the different moments of life that can arise when we decide to leave our “cradle” towards the unknown, leading to an adaptation to a new reality that never forgets its roots.
