Mal de Ulisses (Ulisses’ Angst)<\/strong>
\nA project by Rui Catal\u00e3o with migrant communities<\/p>\n

Binaural Nodar resumes the collaboration with Rui Catal\u00e3o through the hosting and co-production of his new project, entitled \u201cMal de Ulisses\u201d (\u201cUlysses\u2019 Angst\u201d), which in May 2023 had a first artist residency with local migrant communities .<\/p>\n

Portugal has witnessed in its recent history two poorly studied migratory experiences: those who left the country during the dictatorship and those who arrived in the era of the European Union. A depiction from a Portuguese society in rapid transformation,\u201d Mal de Ulisses\u201d puts into dialogue testimonies of a country that is disappearing and another that is emerging.<\/p>\n

Traumatic tales of those who left their countries of origin in search of another future, in “Mal de Ulisses” former emigrants and young immigrants tell their story: why they left their family, their way of life, and the adaptation problems they faced.<\/p>\n

With distinct creations, adapted to the presentation venues, and casts made up of immigrants or their descendants, “Mal de Ulisses” develops in several regions from north to south of Portugal. The work model followed advocates a progressive autonomy of local groups.<\/p>\n
