LISBOA 1917 EUROPA 1920 - *K4
A strikingly lyrical tapestry unfolds in the opening pages, blending manifesto‑like poetry with vivid snapshots of early‑twentieth‑century European art circles. The narrator, a restless observer of Lisbon’s avant‑garde scene, weaves together fragments of exhibition notices, cryptic symbols and a haunting blue tattoo that hints at an inner obsession. The language is deliberately fragmented, echoing the restless energy of cafés, galleries and the bustling streets that frame the story’s backdrop.
Amid this kaleidoscope, a fragile yet enigmatic young woman emerges, caught between the expectations of her aristocratic lineage and a yearning for artistic freedom. Her interactions with the narrator reveal a delicate dance of admiration, melancholy and unspoken desire, as they navigate the tension between society’s polished façades and the raw pulse of creative genius. Listeners will be drawn into a world where every line feels like a brushstroke, inviting them to taste the bittersweet perfume of ambition, love and the elusive promise of a “blue square” that beckons beyond the page.

1893–1970
A restless modernist spirit, this Portuguese artist and writer moved easily between poetry, painting, drawing, theater, and design. Born in São Tomé and Príncipe and active in Lisbon, he became one of the bold voices who helped bring the avant-garde into 20th-century Portuguese culture.
