Our sincere thanks to Associação Setúbal Voz for the invitation to attend the premiere of Eu Sou Alma in Setúbal.
More than an opera, Eu Sou Alma is a powerful human story. Through the eyes of Alma, a young Palestinian girl from Gaza, the work gives voice to the experiences, hopes, fears, and resilience of a people living under genocide and extraordinary hardship. It is a moving reminder that behind every headline are human lives, dreams, and stories that deserve to be heard.
Through the exceptional artistic vision of Diogo Faro, João Malha, Iolanda Rodrigues, Maria Madalena, and Jorge Salgueiro, this remarkable production transforms art into a bridge of understanding, empathy, and solidarity.
At a time when compassion and human connection are more important than ever, Eu Sou Alma stands as a beautiful example of how culture in Portugal can foster awareness, promote dialogue, and express solidarity with the Palestinian people. It reminds us that art has the power not only to move audiences, but also to unite communities around shared values of dignity, justice, hope, and humanity.
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Associação Setúbal Voz, the Municipality of Setúbal, and all the artists, performers, and organisers whose dedication made this unforgettable evening possible.
An evening of culture, reflection, and solidarity that will stay with us for a long time. 🇵🇸🫶🇵🇹
