Parashurama

Choreographed and performed by Mario Barzaghi, Parashurama presents a fragment of Kathakali, the classic dance-theatre of south India. Rooted in the training lineage of Kalamandalam Neeraj, the piece stages the warrior-sage Parashurama — his awakening, anger and confrontation with a wedding procession — through precise gestural language, dramatic facial play and martial elegance. The staging pairs ritualized makeup and measured physical discipline with an intimate encounter across cultures, exploring mythic heroism and controlled fury within a compact, rigorous form.

Camané, a leading figure of contemporary fado, offers an intimate, lyric-driven performance where voice shapes narrative and silence becomes breath. His elegant restraint and deep attention to lyrics bring out melancholy, memory and light. Joined by José Manuel Neto (Portuguese guitar), Carlos Manuel Proença (acoustic guitar) and Paulo Paz (double bass), the quartet builds precise arrangements and rich textures that balance tradition and renewal. The result is a suspended, inward musical journey of subtle intensity.
