Heart Beat <\/strong>also presents a special cine-concert session, starting with the exhibition of Mist\u00e9rios Negros<\/em>, by Pedro Lino<\/strong>, soundtracked live by composer Philippe Lenzini.

After that, the documental cine-performance O intendente \u00e9 um lugar psicol\u00f3gico<\/em>, wherein Tiago Pereira <\/strong>films and conceptualises, and S\u00edlvio Rosado <\/strong>composes and plays, will be shown. This cine-performance will bring memories to the foreground, live. Blend them all together, give them sounds and music. The neighbourhood which is not a neighbourhood, but a body, each arm an artery, the legs ethnicities, combinations. The dancing of what still withstands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
