Fado Nosso, which will take place on October 16th, at 8:00 pm, at Teatro D. Pedro V, is described by the Amalgama dance company as being the “rescue of a heritage, but not in a memory over the ashes, but rather in a renewed memory of a present with roots”, thus giving the project a tribute dimension that intersects with a contemporary dimension.
On stage, Fado will be danced, in a tribute to the voice of Fado, Amália Rodrigues, through the bodies of 5 dancers accompanied simultaneously by 2 musicians, exploring the meanings of the interpretative mystery associated with this musical genre, masterfully internationalized.
About Amalgama
Amalgama, Dance Company, is a non-profit Cultural Association that embraces a professional company with a 19-year history in a national and international career and which is characterized by its intervention in Heritage and Nature.
Independent and professional, without financial support from the state, it creates and produces its shows and platforms, ensuring, through a network of partnerships, the sustainability of its projects.
It also has an important role in community intervention, involving different artists (dancers, poets, writers) and different generations in its shows, in an international and interdisciplinary dynamic, enhancing knowledge and heritage in a renewed look at dance, music, poetry, and video.
Over the years it has invested in cultural projects in the city of Lisbon that have promoted the revitalization of the national and world heritage of humanity, contributing to the formation and audience loyalty, through quality programming, investing, with no return financially, a substantial part of their work in implementing programs integrated into heritage, within the scope of the “open and living city”.
With an uninterrupted path at the intersection of material and intangible heritage, Amalgama was a pioneer in taking Dance to many national heritage sites.
This was the case of the National Pantheon, for which the show “FADO MEU – Tributo a Amália, a Voz do Fado” was created specifically, which had its origins in paying homage to the monument, a national and heritage symbol, and to one of the personalities in it.
