OUW018: Mac Dunlop featuring Escritor Subzero / Un Soir à Tavira

Un Soir à Tavira adapts its title from Fernando Pessoa’s poem and the musical composition, “Un Soir à Lima”. Inspired by Pessoa's heteronym Alvaro de Campos -who wrote the ‘sensacionista’ manifesto.

Mac says:
"This inspired me to think of the very non-sensationist world we lived through – our COVID pandemic world of isolationism. Masks, gloves, disinfectant, cleaning, social distancing, etc. left me aksing us asking: what is left for the senses to appreciate?

Perhaps we all find ourselves living remotely, and in the shadows of how we remember things should be."

“ I am virus to earth, a nothing, a mote, a crown…”
excerpt from ‘para o vento’ – part of 'Un Soir à Tavira'

Mac is a composer, producer, and performer based in Cornwall, UK. His poetry publications include Solarium -written while Poet in Residence with the National Trust in 2017, and The Enigma Deviations published by the Poetry Point Press in 2015.
