Fire Letters 2024
In the context of their new creation Fire Letters, Ritó Natálio & Ellen Pirá Wassu have compiled a small booklet that brings together the letters exchanged between them – the raw material for the performance presented at Alkantara Festival 2024 – and a series of research notes and excerpts from readings developed in parallel with visits to museum collections in Lisbon and Coimbra.
The brochure, edited only in Portuguese, can be consulted and downloaded HERE.
