The performance “The Rivers of the Viseu Dão Lafões Community” was staged on 9 May in São Pedro do Sul, combining a reading of poems by Luís Costa, coordinator of Binaural Nodar, about the rivers of the Viseu Dão Lafões Intermunicipal Community, with a musical performance by the group Sax on the Road. The sound component featured excerpts from soundscapes and ethnographic recordings made between 2023 and 2024, whilst each piece was accompanied by video projections edited by Liliana Silva using footage captured along the various rivers and streams in the region.
