Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, CAM, November 17th to December 13th, 2009.
Live performance on November 19th, by the Contemporary Music Group of Lisbon.
Mixed media with electronic music by Jorge Peixinho and images by Ernesto de Sousa.
The mixed media Luiz Vaz 73 was first displayed in 1975, at the 5th International Festival of Mixed Media in Ghent (Belgium), but its genesis is in 1973, when the Portuguese composer Jorge Peixinho, then a trainee from the Belgian Government in IPEM (University of Ghent), makes up the "symphonic poem”, which is based on the epic poem Os Lusíadas by Luís Vaz de Camões. Ernesto de Sousa reprogrammed the concept of the musical work in a mixed media installation, designing a visual and spatial structure. Luiz Vaz 73 had, between 1975 and 1981, six public performances in Portugal and abroad.
