\u201cThe City of Mathew: A Viseu Campanology\u201d is a sound composition by Lu\u00eds Costa to be performed exclusively by bells of seven churches and chapels from the city of Viseu to be activated by dozens of young volunteers who will follow a visual based score with instructions related to sound perception of the city itself, creating a specific and unrepeatable phonosphere of one of the iconic cities in the religious history of Portugal. Two routes will be proposed to the audience to be followed simultaneously along with the interpretation of the work, both culminating in Largo da S\u00e9, the main cathedral square.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe City of Mathew: A Viseu Campanology\u201d\u00a0draws from various sources and influences that contribute to a narrative that acts on the emotional activation of the work, which tries to escape a purely sonic event: First, the symbolic and liberating aspect of youths to access belfries steeples, considered hard to reach places, but also the narrative connection to the theological significance of Matthew, a saint who\u2019s name is associated with the longstanding fair city of Viseu. The Matthew of the Gospel that condemns ostentation in the practice of three fundamental Jewish virtues: almsgiving, fasting and prayer, an absolutely contemporary idea, in times where solidarity is becoming an instrument for social promotion and\u00a0legitimization.<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cThe City of Mathew: A Viseu Campanology\u201d\u00a0invites the public to follow a listening guide (which can be downloaded here<\/a>, in Portuguese language) to enable concentration, meditation and intensity in the reception of a work that\u00a0unequivocally assumes its condition of sacred\u00a0contemporary art, thus\u00a0imbued of an evangelising spirit in parallel with its purely aesthetic aspects.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe City of Mathew: A Viseu Campanology\u201d\u00a0is co-produced for Viseu A\u2026 a festival which will take place between 24 May and 1 June. A contemporary art program performed by many people and by many artists. Hundreds of people in various places, Viseu, S\u00e3o Pedro do Sul, Mangualde, Tondela and Nelas will enter into dialogue with\u00a0 Theatre, Music, Dance and New Circus. A unique experience to celebrate and feel today\u2019s world within the horizon of the arts.<\/p>\n
