Vozes de Magaio Festival<\/strong>
\nSheltering and Transhumating the Oral Tradition<\/p>\n

20 a 22 Maio 2011<\/strong>
\nOliveira, Fujaco, Macieira and Sul villages
\n(S. Pedro do Sul Municipality, Viseu District)<\/p>\n

The voice is the main instrument of human communication. The voice draws and transmits content, creates links between subjects and involves listening and participation. The voice (ours and others) takes us out, frees us from the unbearable weight of repetition, which otherwise we would be confined to. Voice is sound, is a symbol of interiority otherwise inexpressible. The voice prepares the sense of place where the word will be said.<\/p>\n

The voice is an archetypal force, it is a primordial image endowed with a powerful creative dynamism. It is the “place” where the language articulates, that goes beyond the voice with all its existential force, materiality and meaning. “The voice is a question not yet organized, pure and free significant that pointing, waving and alluding without saying. The voice says itself in the moment it is said: it is pure demand. The inarticulate shout, the pure groan, the wordless vocalization, the cry of the war are explosions of the being that identifies itself with its own voice: the voice is the desire to say and to exist.” (Paul Zumthor)<\/p>\n

In the rural region of the Portuguese mountain range of Gralheira (S. Pedro do Sul Municipality), inhabited by communities that had subsistence agriculture and herding as dominant activities, and in which electricity and, consequently, TV, arrived only about 30 years ago, all knowledge and communication had the human voice as their medium. This fact was enough to give a dense richness to the whole oral discourse… the idiosyncrasy, the puzzling, the subliminal, the accents… issues that increasingly are being more standardized.<\/p>\n

These rural villages, recently integrated in the \u201cAldeias de Magaio” (Magaio Villages) network, presently still retain traces of orality that manifest themselves in all aspects of practical, mental and spiritual life:<\/p>\n

The voice that prays and confesses
\nThe voice that sings the divine
\nThe voice that carries the legend
\nThe voice that calls the animals
\nThe voice that sings the cycle of land
\nThe voice that sings impromptu
\nThe voice that proclaims the merchandise
\nThe voice that convokes the community
\nThe voice that denounces the condition
\nThe voice that keeps the accent
\nThe voice that perpetuates the vocabulary
\nThe voice that echoes in the landscape
\nThe voice that subverts the canon
\nThe voice that auctions on a day of feast
\nThe voice that rises in tone with the wine
\nThe voice that repeats the litany
\nThe voice that rocks the child
\nThe voice that evokes the ancestral divinity<\/p>\n

The Vozes de Magaio Festival proposes to create a dialogue between all forms of rural oral heritage and contemporary art forms centered in the human voice and that work with issues as origin, meaning, the relationship with the sacred (reconnected to its meaning and ancestral symbolism of mystery and symbol), the voice as a pivotal element of rituals, customs and superstitions, able to enchant the listener and bring deep changes to the reality, in the communities and territory, the voice as the protagonist of memories, myths, archetypes, folk wisdom handed down through the centuries, or even the voice of everyday, tool for work and life.<\/p>\n

The festival will take place in three different periods of 2011 – May, June and September\/October -, will include the presence of tens of national and international artists and will offer a vast program of activities directed to varied audiences: concerts, video screenings, environmental activities, activities of discovery of the local oral and musical heritage, traditional balls, gastronomy, handicraft and produce market, etc..<\/p>\n
