TODAS AS CARTAS DE AMOR SÃO RIDÍCULAS arises from the idea of selecting key letters, through the vast and prolific catalogue shared between Fernando Pessoa and Ophelia Queiroz, and build original songs and their own visual album: 10 tracks + 10 photographs. A concert-exhibition, so to speak.

A project conceived and creative directed by João Telmo, with original musical composition by Ella Nor and Mogno, photography by Telmo Pereira and a flabbergasting cast inhabiting the 10 tableaux vivants.

TODAS AS CARTAS DE AMOR SÃO RIDÍCULAS is a postmodern agit-prop investigating love: its idiosyncrasies and its complex, but at the same time prosaic, traits.
