FADIAGENS: an itinerant fado show

31 October 2021

A group of Fado singers goes to Trafaria to present the show FADIAGENS:

  • A show beyond fado
  • An outside show with local singers.
  • A 3-moment show in 3 mythical locations in the village.
  • A show designed for Trafaria!

This is an initiative of NOVA University Lisbon, within the scope of the European project T-Factor, under the curatorship of Prof. Carla Fernandes, of NOVA FCSH. 

This project aims to unlock the transformative potential of the temporary use of cultural heritage in urban regeneration and involve the local population in its creative dynamics, as well as emblematic places representing the history of Trafaria in a direct relationship with the community.

Thus, knowing the fado tradition in the village, the T-Factor project offers the inhabitants an unprecedented show that integrates Trafaria fadistas in 3 key meeting places for the population: they are the “Verbena” (Trafariense Music Society), the “ Cortiço” and the “Clube” (Trafaria football club).
