Feliz Encontro (Happy Encounter) is an invitation to a journey without destination. Whoever is present, the place where one is and when it happens are the coordinates of a path that certainly has only one starting point: the dialogue between a piano and a saxophone in search of their voices.
The place will tell what is missing in the moment, and whoever is there might be able to help in the search. If, among everyone, Music-Life happens, it’s because it had to. If it doesn’t happen, it’s because it was meant to be that way.
Artistic research and scientific research are structuring approaches in CMT’s work. There may be various forms of creativity, but the creative drive, whatever the domain, is always the same: desire, magma, vital movement, the flow of overcoming.
We promote this research through internal laboratories (Lab X) and through the sharing of experiences in gestation (Outlabs), where we try to discover which path to follow. It might be the bubbling up of a creation, a community project or any other ‘commitment’ to a subject or idea. Who knows?
In Feliz Encontro we promote this search by opening it to public participation. Will Cecília be with us? What about António? João? Paulo?
