The Portuguese territory of the Viseu D\u00e3o Laf\u00f5es Intermunicipal Community, formed by fourteen municipalities in the central region, comprises a wide variety of rivers, framed from north to south by three main river basins: the Douro, the Vouga and the Mondego. These three rivers and their tributaries (such as the Paiva and the D\u00e3o) even define some of the boundaries between municipalities and, consequently, part of the map of the Viseu D\u00e3o Laf\u00f5es intermunicipal community itself.<\/p>\n
The riverside landscapes are therefore both natural and cultural realities, and each riverside village, each bend in the river and each tributary, however small, helps to define the specific \u201cspirit of the place\u201d of each of the countless communities that make up a region.<\/p>\n
As such, Binaural Nodar has dedicated a significant part of its work in recent years to the relationship between water and rural communities, taking into account the traditional knowledge linked to the careful management of this resource and the lessons that can be passed on to new generations, in light of the increasing complexity of natural resource management in the contemporary world.<\/p>\n
In 2023, the project \u201cThe Rivers of Community \u2013 Viseu D\u00e3o Laf\u00f5es\u201d was launched, consisting of the selection of 14 rivers and streams, which were chosen to include both some of the smaller streams and the main rivers that help define the geography of the territory and cross several municipalities: Alfusqueiro, Castelo, Coja, Cabanas, Carapito, D\u00e3o, Dinha, Mau, Mondego, Paiva, Pavia, S\u00e1t\u00e3o, Sul and Vouga. Each of these river contexts was extensively documented by the Binaural Nodar team in terms of soundscapes, interviews with local communities and video recordings.<\/p>\n
Following this research work, a phase of poetic and musical research began, which materialised in a collaboration between Binaural Nodar\u2019s team and the musical group Sax on the Road, formed by Ant\u00f3nio Manuel Ramos and Dolores Sp\u00ednola, which is based in a small village in the municipality of Vouzela.<\/p>\n
On 22 November, at 9 p.m., the poetic-musical and multimedia show \u201cThe Rivers of the Community \u2013 Viseu D\u00e3o Laf\u00f5es\u201d will premiere in Vouzela, in which poems dedicated to the rivers and streams of the Viseu D\u00e3o Laf\u00f5es Intermunicipal Community will be read by their author, Lu\u00eds Costa, coordinator of Binaural Nodar, alongside musical accompaniment (guitar, saxophone, percussion, sound objects and electronics) by the Sax on the Road group. The musical accompaniment will be based on a \u201csound bed\u201d composed of excerpts from soundscapes and ethnographic collections made throughout the project. Each theme will also be accompanied by a video projection edited by Liliana Silva, based on footage shot on each of the rivers and streams in the territory.<\/p>\n
As part of the same event, a book about the project will be presented, including photographs of the selected rivers and streams, the texts of the poems and two CDs with the poetic-musical themes dedicated to the 14 rivers and streams in the territory of Viseu D\u00e3o Laf\u00f5es.<\/p>\n
This show and the book + 2 CDs are also part of the activities of the Tramontana Network, co-financed by the Creative Europe programme.<\/p>\n
