In this solo concert, featuring vocals and guitar, Luca Argel brings together two of the central themes of his recent work: the book Meigo Energúmeno – notas para uma leitura antimachista de Vinicius de Moraes (Meigo Energúmeno – notes for an anti-macho reading of Vinicius de Moraes) and the theme of his new album, O Homem Triste (The Sad Man). Through song and words, Luca offers a sensitive and critical listening experience on masculinity, the emotional education of men and the place of vulnerability in love, friendship and everyday life. Between original songs, commented readings and reinterpretations of Vinicius de Moraes' songbook, this intimate concert creates a space for closeness and reflection, where affection is assumed as a political gesture and silence is transformed into music. A delicate and deeply contemporary proposal that invites the audience to rethink what it means to feel, fail and care — for oneself and for others.

O programa reúne artistas, tecnólogos criativos, curadores, escritores e pensadores com contribuições que abrangem várias constelações temáticas: desde o espiritual e o mítico, infraestruturas sociotecnológicas e lógicas (des)coloniais, até futuros especulativos. Através destas contribuições, o programa explora o potencial para remodelar a forma como pensamos sobre a criatividade humana e não humana, como experimentamos a convergência da arte e da tecnologia e como as suas possibilidades imaginativas podem inspirar novas práticas culturais e mundos. Com curadoria de Joasia Krysa, Nuno Crespo, Daniel Ribas e José Alberto Gomes

LUCA ARGEL Luca Argel is a singer-songwriter and writer from Rio de Janeiro who has been living between Brazil and Portugal for over a decade, where he has also put down roots. His artistic projects bring together historical research, political activism, and musical experiences that transcend borders. In Brazil, he earned a degree in music and worked as a teacher in public schools and NGOs. In Portugal, while completing a master’s degree in Literature, he began his professional stage career, performing with the groups Samba Sem Fronteiras and Orquestra Bamba Social, with whom he continues to cultivate and share a deep connection to samba, a genre that has been central to his artistic path. He combines his musical activity with literary work, which has led to the publication of poetry books in Brazil, Spain, and Portugal, one of which was a semifinalist for the Oceanos Prize in 2017. He also composes music for dance and film, and has produced radio programmes and podcasts dedicated to Brazilian music. He has released six albums and has toured with them in Portugal, Spain, France, and Macau, performing at venues and festivals such as Rock in Rio Lisbon, the Théâtre du Châtelet, the Sines World Music Festival, and RTP’s Festival da Canção, where he reached the semifinals with a song addressing xenophobia and prejudice against immigrants, an issue that has been growing worldwide.
