The Rivers of the Community
\nViseu D\u00e3o Laf\u00f5es<\/p>\n

Poetic-musical and multimedia performance
\nSax on the Road + Binaural Nodar<\/p>\n

Saturday, May 9th at 4:00 p.m.
\nS\u00e3o Pedro do Sul Cultural Center<\/p>\n

The territory of the Viseu D\u00e3o Laf\u00f5es Intermunicipal Community, comprising fourteen municipalities in the central region, features 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

In 2023, the project \u201cThe Rivers of the Community Viseu D\u00e3o Laf\u00f5es\u201d was launched, consisting of the selection of 14 rivers and streams. These were chosen to include both some of the smaller rivers and streams as well as the major 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 riverine 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, in 2024, a phase of poetic and musical exploration began, which resulted in a collaboration between the Binaural Nodar team and the musical group Sax on the Road, formed by Ant\u00f3nio Manuel Ramos and Dolores Sp\u00ednola, to create a poetic-musical and multimedia performance and an album featuring the 14 composed tracks, which were presented for the first time in November 2025.<\/p>\n

On May 9 at 4:00 p.m., the show \u201cThe Rivers of the Community Viseu D\u00e3o Laf\u00f5es\u201d will be presented in S\u00e3o Pedro do Sul, in which the 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 a musical performance (guitar, saxophone, percussion, sound objects, and electronics) by the Sax on the Road Group. The musical performance is based on a \u201csound foundation\u201d composed of excerpts from soundscapes and ethnographic recordings made throughout the project. Each piece is also accompanied by a video projection edited by Liliana Silva, based on footage shot at each of the rivers and streams in the region.<\/p>\n
