Intolerância

A música nem sempre é composta como uma manifestação de alegria, prazer ou exultação da beleza e harmonia do mundo. A verdade é que o mundo nem sempre é belo. Nem sempre, portanto, a música consegue ou quer fazer-nos cantar. Nem sempre os compositores querem partilhar alegria e esperança.

ORQUESTRUTOPICA, o agrupamento residente do CCB, reúne em concerto duas obras escritas em contextos de crítica social e sobrevivência física e psicológica: O King de Luciano Berio e Quatour pour la fin des temps de Olivier Messiaen.

O King é uma homenagem de Berio a Martin Luther King Jr, na qual os fonemas do nome do activista constituem o texto para a peça; Quatour pour la fin des temps foi escrito em 1940 durante um tempo de terror, incerteza e agonia para Messiaen, nessa altura prisioneiro de guerra no campo de concentração alemão na Silésia, Polónia.

24 de Janeiro de 2007, às 21h00 - Pequeno auditório do CCB, Lisboa

Iain McKell, "New Gypsies"

"Historically despised the new Gypsies are there by choice, not heritage. Unrelated to the Roma, the movement began in 1986 when a group of Post-Punk Anti-Thatcher protesters headed out of London into the English countryside. McKell followed these New Age Travellers to the West Country and over the years he watched them become a hybrid tribe - the new gypsies - present-day rural anarchists, living the subversive lifestyle in elaborately decorated horse-drawn caravans."

New Order - Video 5-8-6 [Extended 22:23 version]

“Video 5 8 6” is a song originally composed as “pap” (as Tony Wilson put it) for the opening night of the Haçienda on May 21, 1982. Parts of this pearl would become the basis for the Power, Corruption & Lies tracks “5 8 6” and “Ultraviolence”, as well as the associated 12-inch single “Blue Monday”.
