Music Theatre
Ear to Sea (2023/26)
A multidisciplinary performance created in collaboration with the Cusk Collective, exploring underwater soundscapes and the impact of noise pollution on marine life through live music, movement, field recordings, and scientific research. Blending art and marine bioacoustics, the project offers an immersive reflection on humanity’s relationship with the ocean.
INLAND (2023)
A multidisciplinary music theatre project created in collaboration with the ensemble Soundinitiative. Combining music, text, video, performance, and everyday objects, the work explores urban sound pollution, ecological listening, and the sensory intensity of contemporary city life through a collaborative and performative approach to composition.
Choir of One (2023)
An electro-acoustic music theatre work for soprano, electronics, and video inspired by Frankenstein. Rather than retelling the novel, the piece explores the relationship between creator, creature, and creation through a performative meditation on identity, prejudice, responsibility, and the instability of human nature.
Ruins On My Chest (2023)
A performative music theatre work that explores the wound as a sonic and embodied presence, whether personal, environmental, or collective. Through sound, spoken word, movement, and acts of destruction, the piece transforms performers into instruments and instruments into sound objects, shaping a visceral experience between ritual and theatre. Created in collaboration with Coletivo Phoebus, it unfolds as an intense exploration of fragility, resonance, and transformation.
A Máquina Parou (2023)
A participatory music theatre project inspired by the Porto legend of Pedro Sem, exploring the impact of technology on everyday life and mental health through a dystopian narrative shaped by digitally constructed characters. Combining music, performance, and collaborative creation, the work follows the tensions between an influencer consumed by luxury and a hacker trapped within the system he sustains, where conflict, frustration, and unexpected romance begin to emerge.
Opera
Spare some change, sir? (2021)
A video opera created as part of the European Opera Academy, exploring the tension between reason and intuition through an internal dialogue between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Combining voice, electronics, and audiovisual media, the work transforms an everyday encounter into a psychological and ethical reflection on empathy, morality, and the conflicting voices that shape human decision-making.
Dance
Ad lucem (2019)
A dance performance that reflects on photographic archives of Italian psychiatric institutions from the 1970s to explore the contemporary body as both oppressor and oppressed. Oscillating between unity and fragmentation, tenderness and aggression, the work examines how violence becomes internalized, transforming the body into both victim and perpetrator.
Installation & Spatial Works
Myrage (2024)
An instrumental multimedia work for tenor saxophone, video, and electronics exploring the relationship between sound, image, and environment. Inspired by urban landscapes and the concept of the hyperobject, the piece transforms external materials into a hybrid sonic space where performer, technology, and context interact. Developed through a collaborative process between composer and performer, Myrage expands instrumental practice towards a more immersive and theatrical experience.
Instrumental & Site-Based Works
Fragamonte (2024)
A site-responsive chamber work composed during the Vanguarda na Aldeia residency programme with the Síntese – Grupo de Música Contemporânea. Drawing on field recordings, oral histories, photographs, and local mythology collected in the village of Lamas de Orelhão, the work transforms the village's eco-acoustic environment into a musical landscape where memory, place, and community converge.
Toada do Granito (2025)
A site-responsive chamber work inspired by the altarpiece of the Holy Trinity in the Parish Church of Aldeia do Bispo. Drawing on local voices, oral traditions, and the village’s eco-acoustic environment, the piece transforms visual, historical, and sonic materials into a musical landscape where memory, place, and community converge through an expanded instrumental language.
O que disse o Candeeiro ao Tronco do Sobreiro? (2025)
A participatory soundwalk-performance and experimental laboratory that invites participants to engage with the more-than-human through listening, movement, and collective creation. Moving between indoor and public spaces, the project transforms encounters with everyday environments into a collaborative performative work, exploring new relationships between sound, ecology, and place.
