Black

Black DJ Set

We can gather Lisbon’s cultural history from this century and appoint Black as one of the motors/mentors that made it become what we know today. Maybe you’ll have to investigate a little further to know his real name, but as co-founder of group Filho Único, the life of the city nowadays is what he helped create.

Scotoma Cintilante

“Scotoma Cintilante” is a performance-concert for a mixed choir of blind people with three dimensional graphical sheet music. The surface of a sculpture-machine is the inanimate matter that operates the mutation over the voice in time. Coming from a world-vision where tactile relations with inanimate matter is the primordial source of sound building, this performance-concert submits itself between matter and animates, pre-language and surface.

Wolfgang Tillmans

Before I Knew It

Wolfgang Tillmans is one of the most influential artists of our time. Tillmans’ universe encompasses music, dance, dilated pupils, free sex, political statements, and abstract images. BoCA presents the darker side of his art: Tillmans also makes electronic music. It is this more hidden side of the artist that he will share in an unprecedented event.

Feel me. Hear me. See me.

The project pays tribute, through contemporary music, to one of the greatest artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, Helena Almeida (1934-2018). Bringing together students from the Lisbon School of Music, the School of Music and Performing Arts (Porto), and the University of Minho (Braga), young composers create new works based on H. Almeida’s series of the same name. The result: a concert that brings together students from the three universities.
