An audiovisual concert that relates Baroque music and Uruguay’s natural ecosystems, promoting an awareness among citizens of its beauty and importance, as well as its current threats.
Although Uruguay is considered a small country, it includes, like Portugal, an important variety of ecosystems and a rich biodiversity of both flora and fauna, as well as suffering from a number of environmental problems that put its conservation at risk. Due to these problems, three ecosystems were chosen that need to be appreciated and protected, due to their enormous biological value: Psamophilic ecosystem (vegetation associated with the coastal-lacunar line), Monte cerrrado ecosystem (forests of interior areas) and humid ecosystems (areas with long periods of water saturation).
With this new collaboration, Binaural Nodar continues a path initiated in 2018 of artistic interventions developed in partnership with cultural and environmental entities in Uruguay, a country that includes many parallels with Portugal, for its size, geomorphology and countless common cultural values: linguistic, musical, anthropological, etc.
