Cavalgada de Mil Amperes
Audiovisual show by António Durães with Edgar Pêra
Promising an overwhelming sensory experience, Cavalgada de Mil Amperes is a visceral show that brings the power of Álvaro de Campos’ poem to the stage. António Durães, actor and reinventor of the word, gives body and voice to the apology of extreme sensation, of the desire to feel “like God”, in the vertigo of unstoppable electricity.
This central interpretation is complemented by artistic layers that amplify the poetic delirium: the original music of Márcio Décio and João Figueiredo, which sculpts unexpected soundscapes, and the disturbing films of Edgar Pêra, whose shocking images and strong visual component expand the futuristic and mutating universe of Campos. This show is a contradiction in constant dialogue, a fusion of poetry, music and cinema that continually comments on and portrays itself. Cavalgada de Mil Amperes is a total immersion in excess, where poetry ignites, leaving everything on display on stage.
