A verse by poet Nuno Brito inspires this cycle of seven special sessions, included in the Feira do Livro do Porto programme.

To the sound of birdsong, words flow freely in the Palácio de Cristal Gardens.

Seven challenging, intense and varied sessions. A programme built around the celebration of the word. The spoken word, the sung word, the fluid word.

The word fills our hearts, challenging us to dream.

Between Portugal and Brazil, between voice and music, language bleeds, trembles and resists. Here, poetry is laid bare. Here, we celebrate the Human Being’s place in all its complexity. To speak is an act of risk. A sensory and reflective experience, where art becomes an instrument of consciousness.
