Project Travessa da Ermida ends the 2013 program with the performance Notre Dame of Alice Joana Gonçalves curated by João Silvério counting with the photographic interpretation of known artist Julião Sarmento and an audiovisual register that will later be presented in an exhibition on the same space in 2014. 

 

Notre Dame elevates the Ermida as a space of access to intimacy! In the performance, the interpreters, feminine, will try to recreate an emotional subjective putative of the gargoyles of the Cathedral of Paris, parallel to a musical construction based on the polyphonic songs that were founded there, as of one aesthetic settled on the paraffin's materiality. Then, it will be 

through a dreamlike transmutation that the ones around will experience the deliriums and tensions of those beings that loose prophecies and express the hallucination of an intimate and real frenzy.
