CHAIA – Christine Zurbach
and José Alberto Ferreira [PORTUGAL]
CONVERSAS SEM FIO
(Wireless Conversations)
30 MAY + 6 JUNE · 11 PM
Cineteatro Curvo Semedo – Foyer
In the Conversas sem Fio (Wireless Conversations) of the 18th Montemor-o-Novo International Puppetry Meeting, we invite artists and spectators to debate the works presented.
Actions of creation are often characterised by intense, unseen processes – processes that frequently extend over time and span multiple landscapes. This year’s Conversas sem Fio (Wireless Conversations) will explore the various aspects of creation, its processes, timescales and motivations.
