Listen with your eyes. See, touch, reflect, experience. BIBLIOTECA DE CORDA E NÓS is an entry point for generating individual and imaginative experiences. It is a mysterious mobile library with a circular wooden structure that holds unpublished manuscripts, never-before-published texts, scores, drawings, found objects, and cylinders filled with messages made of strings and knots. This installation performance, which has travelled to different European cities, has arrived in Portimão and brings a SEGUNDA PELE that will surround the BIBLIOTECA DE CORDAS.
Its inner face is filled with a circular map of Portimão. From this map, throughout the year, students from the secondary schools of Portimão, guided by their teachers, have traced their CAMINHOS ORGÂNICOS on the map using threads and pins. An evolving project. Photographs of the shadows of each young person on their CAMINHOS ORGÂNICOS will also be displayed on the exterior of the SEGUNDA PELE.
