"O Grito do Peixe" (The Cry of the Fish)  de Clara Andermatt

A performance involving young students from the city of Olhão in the Algarve region (Portugal), on a project commissioned by Faro National Capital of Culture.
The creative process took place in Olhão during a three-month residency -from October to December 2005 - by using a close approach to the community whose singularities and habits served as a reference, an inspiration and as starting points for the development of this piece. 

The Cry of the Fish is a performance made of movement, music and theatre, featuring a live band (2 drum sets, 2 electric guitars, a bass and a harp) which allows us to travel through rock sonorities and drift along its peripheries.
It brings on stage 5 dancers, 5 musicians and 10 school students from Olhão, Portugal.
