ÃO, a nasal diphthong specific to Portuguese, is a piece featuring choreographer Ana Rita Teodoro, musician João Neves and artist André e. Teodósio, together creating a sonic and sensory experience. Tripping on the sound of a diphthong that doesn’t trip off the tongue for non-native speakers, they intone sounds, words and melodies of original compositions, implicating tongue, lungs, skeleton, objects, images, feelings, and surroundings.
