Agenda

This exhibition, on display at the Esposende Municipal Museum, is part of the celebrations of the Municipal Museum's 30th anniversary and recreates the atmosphere that existed around a century ago in this space of the old Theatre-Club building, where the Espozendense Assembly met, a select group of Esposendenses, formally constituted, with defined statutes, who got together for recreational and leisure purposes.

Through the wide range of objects and pieces on display, visitors will be able to understand what life was like in the Sala dos Azulejos, with mannequins dressed to the nines, its century-old piano and snooker, as well as other furniture and various artefacts, such as grafonolas, crockery, walking sticks, bowler hats and top hats, women's artefacts, documents and newspapers from the time.

Esposende Town Council, as coordinator of the Esposende Nautical Station, has launched the 2024 Nautical Agenda.

The aim is for local residents and national and foreign visitors to have the opportunity to find out about the range of nautical events taking place in Esposende.

This action is part of the Action Plan for the Sustainability, Growth and Competitiveness of Tourism in Esposende - 2023_2027, and the Esposende Nautical Station Action Plan 2023_2025.

The exhibition "Weaving the Reed" centers on the craftsmanship of reed mats from Forjães, a "know-how" that became the main artisanal industry of this village for much of the 20th century.

This artisanal labor is portrayed through the lens of Juan Pablo Moreiras, a French photographer whose work has illustrated numerous exhibitions and publications, including those of UNESCO World Heritage, as well as features in prestigious international magazines.

Additionally, this exhibition hosts pieces from the "Water Earth Fire" showcase, which are the results of work produced over the last four editions of the academic project "'Design' and Territory" by ESMAD, the Polytechnic Institute of Porto.

Sinfonietta de Braga invites Catarina Gonçalves

Sinfonietta de Braga Orchestra and Catarina Gonçalves (cello)

The program, woven with delicate threads of sound, sketches a narrative that transcends temporal and stylistic boundaries. The concert unfolds with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's profound and moving composition, the "Adagio and Fugue". In this opening moment, an atmosphere of contemplation and drama is established, weaving the audience through intricate emotional pathways. The musical landscape transforms as Luigi Boccherini takes the stage, presenting his "Musica notturna delle strade di Madrid, Opus 30 No. 6". This work transports listeners to the nighttime streets of the Spanish capital, full of vivacity and pulsating atmosphere. The pinnacle of the evening is revealed with Boccherini's "Cello Concerto No. 3 in G Major".

BOCA DE CENA – Children and Youth Theater Company

"A Moira and the Bard" delves into the legend of the Moiras, Portuguese fairies whose belief is said to have been brought by the Celts, and into the musicality of the poetry of the bards, Celtic poets who extolled the valor of heroes. Purposefully set against the ambiance of Castro de S. Lourenço, the collective dramaturgy of the actors and director from Boca de Cena - Children and Youth Theater Company of Esposende, contemplates an ode to the delightful poetry of António Correia de Oliveira, from the book "The Soul of the Trees", intertwined with legends such as the Legend of the Morena and the Legend of D. Croio, which, like a centuries-old tree, inspire the creation of eternal roots in the municipality of Esposende.

"A Moira and the Bard" premieres in a unique performance and immersive format, where the audience can join the cast to dramatize the arrival of the Celts at the Castro, the release of the Moiras in the forest, and the eternalization of the bard's poetry in every root, every trunk, every shadow, in a hymn to the soul of the trees, a troubadour's love between the Moira and the Bard.
