Esta residência acontece em dois momentos, conhecendo a sua primeira parte em Abril ‘24 e a segunda em Junho ‘ 24.

Beira Douro
“Dans l'air qui luit et dans le vent qui passe, un fleuve plus épais qu’une grasse prairie,
Un fleuve trembleur comme une flamme.
Le Douro, plein d’ombre et de feux, de silence et de râles, perd son onde au vaste sein des mers.
Où sont-ils, les flots que baise la lumière, sombrés dans les eaux noires ?
Et quelle âme revêtir sans étoiles ?”

Beira Douro
“In the air that shines and in the wind that passes, a river thicker than a grassy prairie,
A trembling river like a flame.
The Douro, full of shadow and fires, of silence and rales, loses its waters in the vast bosom of the seas.
Where are they, the waves embraced by light, drowned in black waters?
And what soul should one wear without stars?”
