INSTALAÇÃO INTERATIVA
Visual Piano
More than a concert, Visual Piano is a live sensory performance where music can be seen and light can be heard.
Created by German artist Laurenz Theinert, this unique instrument allows images to be “played” in real time, in direct dialogue with the musicians on stage. Each musical note corresponds to a visual gesture: shapes, colors, and movements emerge from the keyboard like a light score drawn live, in perfect harmony with the sound.
For this edition, the performance will be accompanied by two award-winning singers from the Cascais Ópera — soprano Sílvia Sequeira and baritone Viktor Aksentijević — who will perform opera arias every 30 minutes, and by Deejay Thimo, adding new sound layers to the experience.
The result is a kind of visual and sonic dream, where light, music, and voice intertwine in an immersive, hypnotic, and abstract journey.
