I blend poetry, performance, sound design, music, and theater to develop projects that emerge from listening to places, people, and the stories they carry.
Over the past few years, I have created performances, workshops, and collaborative projects in cultural, educational, and community settings, striving to ensure that each project finds its own unique voice.
Portugal's representation at the Spoken Word Festival Warsaw, in 2021, marked a turning point in my journey. Later, my participation in the Youth Slam for the Future, organized by the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, reinforced the international dimension of the work and deepened the connection between artistic creation, oral tradition, and critical thinking.
Regardless of the format, I strive to ensure that each creation brings people together, evokes memories, and makes art a place of connection.
My practice
I don't view poetry, performance, or sound design as separate disciplines.
Every creation stems from a different process. It can begin in a writing workshop, a conversation, an interview, a sound recording session, or a rehearsal room.
The form changes. It can take the form of a performance, an installation, a concert, an artist-in-residence program, or a community-based project.
I am interested in creating experiences where words, the body, and sound become listening, encounter, and connection.
