Theatro Circo is the venue for the presentation of the album Novas Canções da Terra, the first album by Catarina Carvalho Gomes, a singer-songwriter from Braga. The multidisciplinary artist is interested in vocal exploration, applied to theater, music, pedagogy and linguistics.

She writes about mourning, fascination, generational conflict, heritage and loneliness, using fruit trees as a pretext and metaphorical anchor, establishing relationships between the natural cycles of flora and the physiological and emotional cycles of human beings. She presents an album with an independent sound, with influences from folk, jazz, pop and fado, prioritizing writing in Portuguese and the voice as an instrument.
