"People think of Portuguese cinema because it has a very unique identity and high quality."

You grew up in a family of artists. Do you think you were destined to follow the path of acting?

My family is not professionally connected with art. They have other professions, but they effectively keep in touch with the arts. Whether it’s music for my brothers or my mother’s relationship with painting, but that’s what the people in my family are connected to in terms of hobbies. I think that this could somehow facilitate contact in childhood with certain influences and references: being surrounded by canvases, seeing my mother draw, brothers playing … It could create a more favorable situation for me. But when I started to study theater and dance, at the age of eight, it was my will, there was no one at home to do it.

Do you think there is an inner mission in the acting profession?

It depends on what counts as a mission. I think there is something inherent in the profession of an actor and a translator: communication – and I think that you must have some kind of anthropological taste. In other words, you need to love people, you need to love and be interested in the human mind, you need to want to explore and discover your own limitations in order to overcome them. The actor’s mission is connected with communication and the ability to create other realities. Of course, you must be someone who likes this other imaginary creation.

When you were little, you said you wanted to be an actress or dancer. Do you think you have managed to do a little of both?

I started doing theater and dancing at the same time, and then, when I had to choose, I chose the theater. Today I am fortunate to be able to work on some projects such as Monica Kalle’s Ensaio para uma cartografia show, which is a very large body show. I am going to do a show directed by Miguel Sibra of the Teatro Meridional, which will be a show from the Azores with dancers and theater artists, where the dance universe will also be invited. When I am not working, I usually train in parallel with the choreographers and continue to work with the body. Of course, I am not a dancer, I do not have this technical virtuosity, but I am a translator who tries to work in this sense and learn more. I’m waiting for invitations that will allow me to work in a more bodily aspect, that’s what interests me. Sometimes, even in camera work that has nothing to do with movement or dance, I use my body a lot and get a lot from physical work. However, I do not know if I was able to reconcile well, because for me I did a lot more things related to movement. But, for example, Mappa Mundi, a performance installation that I created together, is a performance without text, in many ways related to physical work.

Maestro de Braga is the first Portuguese in the National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba.

Maestro Filipe Cunha, Artistic Director of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Braga, has been invited to conduct the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra, as announced today.

According to a statement sent by O MINHO, “he will be the first Portuguese conductor to conduct this orchestra in its entire history.”

In addition to this orchestra, the maestro will also work with the Lyceo Mozarteum de la Habana Symphony Orchestra.

The concerts will take place on 4 and 12 March 2023 at the National Theater of Cuba in Havana.

In the words of the maestro, quoted in the statement, “these will be very beautiful concerts with difficult but very complex pieces” and therefore he feels “very motivated”.

From the very beginning, Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 will be performed by an Italian pianist (Luigi Borzillo), whom the maestro wants to bring to Portugal later this year. In the same concert, Mendelshon’s First Symphony will be performed.

Then, at the second concert, in the company of the Mexican clarinetist Angel Zedillo, he will perform the Louis Sfora Concerto No. 2. In this concert, the maestro also conducts Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony.

“This is an international recognition of my work. An invitation that I accept with humility and great responsibility. I was surprised to learn that I would be the first Portuguese member of the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra. This is a very great honor,” the maestro said in a statement.

“I take with me the name of the city of Braga and Portugal with all the responsibility that goes with it, and I hope to do a good job there, leaving a good image and putting on great concerts. These will be very special concerts because, in addition to performing pieces that I love, especially Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky, I will be directing two wonderful soloists who are also my friends. It will be very beautiful,” concludes Filipe Cunha.
