Description

Somewhere in the city, an unexpected encounter: Poetic Consultations offer moments of listening, sharing, and poetry to those passing by. For about 20 minutes, a “doctor on duty”—an actor—prescribes poems that heal, comfort, and awaken new perspectives. The initiative, open to everyone, invites pause and reflection through the poetic word.

Recalling Fernando Pessoa, «can poetry cure all ills«?

In Lisbon, the first edition of the year will take place on January 22, as part of Solidarity Night, which will take place simultaneously in other European cities. Participating in this initiative are the international partners of São Luiz/EGEAC (Lisbon), Théâtre de la Ville (Paris, France), TNRS/Sibiu International Theater Festival (Sibiu, Romania), Qendra Multimedia (Lipljan, Kosovo), and Teatro Stabile di Catania (Catania, Italy).
