Barroca
Artistic residences, presenting shows for the community, a photographic tour and musical performances in the Aldeias do Xisto. This is what Histérico, in partnership with ADXTUR, has prepared for this summer.

Two artistic residencies, involving performances to the community, a photographic tour and musical shows in the Aldeias do Xisto. This is the X Criações programme prepared by Histérico - Associação de Artes , in partnership with ADXTUR - Schist Villages Tourism Development Agency, for the coming summer. 

From 23 July to 1 August, the AXisto Criativo artistic residence will take place in the Aldeia do Xisto of Barroca. Aimed at  young people aged 16 to 26, with or without artistic experience, the initiative focuses on the themes of creative writing, vocal expressiveness, trying a choir, corporal expression, dramatic expression, improvisation and costume design and mise-en-scène techniques. Ethnographic and memorial collection is also planned in the Aldeias do Xisto of Álvaro Oleiros), Sobral de São Miguel (Covilhã), Barroca and Janeiro de Cima (Fundão). The result of such work will be publicly presented on 31 July.

A photographic tour is scheduled for the same day, taking participants to the rock carvings located in the Zêzere River, near Barroca, and the Panasqueira Mines slag heaps

For the first two weeks of August, six musical shows have been scheduled for the streets of the Aldeias do Xisto. From 16 to 22 August, the Histérico team will provide an artistic residence, which will culminate in the public performance of the show “The Myth of the Aldeias do Xisto”, scheduled for August 21.
