(Another) return to the stages

Now that a return to cultural spaces has become a possibility (even if a tentative one) once more, we waste no time in announcing our next two events: the public presentations of the work of last year's recipients of the OUT.RA Creation Grant, both of which serve as a symbolic end to 2020.

On the 24th of this month, at 11h, terceiro e último momento público das ZIMA (Sara Zita Correia and Marta Ramos) will take place at the Madre de Deus da Verderena Convent - a chance to encounter free exploration in a "dream" format once more. In the artists' own words: "Exchanging the eve of the solstice with the eve of freedom, we open the gates to a new place, to share another life experience. This time, we're interested in chasing a moment which reinforces the simplicity of existence and exposes the inevitable rawness of the meeting between plain voices and the walls. ZIMA presents its dream, in the last public moment of Marta and Sara's project while under the OUT.RA Creation Grant".

At 21h on May 13th, in AMAC, we'll be able to see the work of filmmaker CAMILA VALE - "Solo Infértil" is the film she created throughout 2020, with the participation of several leading local representatives of the worlds of sound and image. "When something odd goes on in the soil, Laura and Miguel's curiosity blooms. The siblings' fascination with the inexplicable colors of the earth, and the secrets hidden by the past, leads them to create an harmony for their dissonant reality in the space they live in. Between disquiet and discovery, one can tell that the world, in these children's eyes, can be a place to imagine, even when nearing its end."

Admittance to both events is free, although a prior reservation (made by e-mailing info@outra.pt) is required.

It goes without saying that the use of a mask and regular hand disinfection is still mandatory - a small requirement for a return to these moments we've all been missing.
