Mil e Uma Noites — Saia da Cabeça de Pedra

Mil e Uma Noites is a long-term civic and artistic project that rescues the work of 20th century Portuguese women from oblivion through radio dramas. As was the case of Scheherazade, listeners are cradled and fall for a constellation of forgotten, erased, censored and tortured women.
In Alcanena, women from various generations were invited to reveal their writing activity, but also to share the stories and life contexts in which they developed it. After an artistic residency and public presentation in September, the radio theatre piece created from these voices returns to the Alcanena Municipal Library in the form of a sound installation. On 6 October, the installation will be inaugurated and there will be a conversation with some of these authors and the artistic team that developed the project. Throughout the festival and until 20 October, it will be possible to immerse yourself in these unique and little-known universes.
