Today, April 5, the fourth workshop of Lendas Sonoras de Lafões (“Sound Legends of Lafões”) took place at the E.B.I. de Santa Cruz da Trapa (Agrupamento de Escolas de Santa Cruz da Trapa) — a project dedicated to rescuing, giving sound to, and expressing elements of the oral tradition of the Lafões municipalities.
Students of Prof. Paulo Fernandes, guided by Luis Gomes da Costa and Liliana Silva from Binaural Nodar, created a set of illustrations using an animation technique known as flipbook.
Through sequential images, with slight variations page by page, it was possible to create an illusion of movement based on the six legends of the São Pedro do Sul municipality covered in previous sessions: “A lenda do diabo” (“The Legend of the Devil”), “A cova da serpente” (“The Serpent’s Den”), “A estrada assombrada” (“The Haunted Road”), “A cabra e o lobo” (“The Goat and the Wolf”), “O morto que matou o vivo” (“The Dead Man Who Killed the Living”) and “A Senhora das colmeias” (“The Lady of the Beehives”).
