About

João Gil brings the show “Caixa de Luz” to Porto for a 5-day residency in Sala 2 of Casa da Música and invites Tatanka, Tiago Nacarato, Pedro Abrunhosa, Vozes da Rádio and Maria Mendes and Miguel Araújo to join him in stage, from 22 to 26 September, respectively.

Signed by João Gil, “Caixa de Luz” is much more than a concert that features different guests every night. “Caixa de Luz” is also a visual experience, in which plastic artist Ana Mesquita signs the scenography, having created close to a hundred images and videos inspired by the musician's work, and helping to create, as the name implies, a “Caixa de Luz” which lights up the boundaries usually built between artist and audience. In short, “Caixa de Luz” is a journey through the songbook of João Gil, one of the most prolific composers in the history of Portuguese music of the last decades, who has been discovering himself as a performer, something that is quite evident in his latest singles, “O Exacto Oposto”, “A Marcha da Polícia”, “Quântica” and the most recent one “Dedo do Meio”.
