festival that lights Sintra when all tourists deserted the village returns today. Until Sunday, the Aura spreads through the streets to tell the stories of those who live there and receive the light of artists from outside. Admission is free
What happens to the now sparsely populated center of Sintra when night sets, all the tourists return to the place where they are staying and the shops close their doors? It should be light. Because from today until Sunday, there will take place the Aura, the festival that will brighten Sintra, for the second consecutive year: along the streets and sometimes indoors, between 21:00 and 00:30, admission is free and not guided tours or workshops need to dial.
at the Museum of Sintra Arts (MU.SA), where the route begins, feels the excitement that characterizes any eve . Patricia Freire begins the route that every night will make for Sintra from 21:30, leaving this same place to Regaleira.
“We continue to work on nightscapes, thinking about the evening, a cultural landscape Sintra also during the night, “says one who works all year for these four nights. This year, the theme of the festival is “Stories of the Night”, and there is something that it resulted even before the artistic pieces that illuminate themselves by night Sintra, and that public lighting, which was put a filter in tone lavender, and decreased the level of light, will see. “We did a great job of land directly with the community, which resulted in the documentary The Cartografias Emotional [in partnership with Samuel Roda Fernandes]. Are life stories, photographic archives and family filmic, and traders,” explains Patricia Freire, an anthropologist whose work appears in the Current and Dr. Alfredo da Costa Street, an area in which this year focused its research.
in addition to the people, this research also passed the Municipal Archives, which preserves the history of public lighting in Sintra or the old legends that long stop at your around. Legends like that at the center of one of the facilities of Rethorica Studio, four friends who met in the Architecture course of Lusíada University and the first edition of the Aura, which received 20,000 visitors joined in the artistic production.
“it was a fairy who had a broken heart, fell in love with a human, and would cry for a cave. later, with much regret, and so visit the fairy, the cave became any magical thing began creating incandescence, “explains Michael, one of the elements. Result: the promenade of Correnteza now there is a cave, lifted the wool yarn with ultraviolet properties over a square of ten meters by ten. There are 8600 of us. “What is this? Is it a setup?” Asks one passerby, even in daylight. It was not the first nor the second time this happened. This will be one of the points not to miss a visit to the Aura.
The National Palace was still not see anything in the afternoon of yesterday, only the car which will be designed projection mapping the collective Oskar & amp;. Gaspar
Let’s start with them, which are never seen or portrayed, and of whom we know only that they are “twins, company owners, are true and are in Singapore “he says, with a smile as friendly as mock Francisco, production of the collective. At this time they have a work in the Boom Festival and soon rumarão to Singapore, where they will participate in the Night Festival. In the palace, the projection mapping show’s creators that last summer lit the Terreiro do Paco, #Ulisseia 21 show Canvas . “We believe that all the walls are a screen [ canvas , in English]. We are exposed to those who are not there, who here goes, all textures, all colors, patterns that are inside the palace, but with a new look, a new perspective, “says Francisco.
Patricia Freire wants people to” start looking again to the zone between the Town Palace and the area called the Estefania “instead of acorrerem just the old village. “To not think he is a subaltern neighborhood or suburb or a path to reach the old town,” he explains. The stories collected, remember three three ladies.
“One of them was the owner of what was formerly called the Inn of Fox.” Alongside the palace was the center of the village. After all, “Sintra was the six hours of Lisbon horse.” Not now. And until a discounted train ticket for those who want to go to Aura: two euros, round trip, from the end of the day. Then see the star generator Luís Patrício installed on Avenida Heliodoro Salgado or between two trees, read – lit, of course -: We Are All Made of Stars and Magic , Sarah Frances Days installation, Diogo Alexis Dias and Rodrigo Abreu.
what about the dark, there is no reason to be afraid, it is full of light.
