Arménio is a person’s name, but it is also the name of a people. Armenia is the name of a language, but it is also a person’s name. Armenian, who is not called Arménio, tells his family’s story in Armenian, but no one understands his language. Armenia, who is not Armenian and has never been to Armenia, lives her daily life in front of the piano, imagining the Orient. But her world only really changes when a different sound comes out of the piano.

In a story full of coincidences that bring together distant realities, Oriental microtones, Western semitones, half-words and characters without socks invite us to take care of the tones we have within us and to know how to see and hear those of others.

School sessions Thursday, 9 October, at 2.30 p.m. and Friday, 10 October, at 10.30 a.m. and 2.30 p.m.
