Author and poet from Porto, José Mário Branco, inspires dance performance by Balleteatro at Porto Book Fair.
José Mário Branco is the honoured author of this year's edition of the book fair in the city of Porto. Words as "freedom, love and insurgency" are part of his oeuvre.  

As such, it inspires Balleteatro to perform "Sussurrar a Liberdade" ["Whispering Freedom", free translation], a show that will be presented at Porto Book Fair throughout the event, from 7 to 23 September, at the Gardens of Palácio de Cristal.

Each weekend, the Fair will feature a 15 minute performance of this dance show, always by the Lago dos Cavalinhos.

Dancers: Deeogo Oliveira and Sónia Cunha
