An original creation in contemporary dance, A Flor da Liberdade is inspired by poetry and music used as passwords in the Carnation Revolution, in an artistic symbiosis where the narrative evokes the value of Liberty and Democracy. In this performance poetry is danced, dance is played, and music is recited, in a salute to the Freedom won in the April Revolution.
