da última vez – Erik Dæhlin

Barreiro Sunday 05.10.25 19.00-20.30

Outdoor performance in two parts

38.6664° N, 9.0685° W

38.6660° N, 9.0672° W

Both parts could be listened to in situ with the ECHOES application – as a juxtaposed sounding shadow at the actual site.

da última vez was performed as a site-specific outdoor performance at OUT.FEST 2025. The piece was inspired by the Mausoleum of Alfredo da Silva and Barreiro’s industrial history. Fascinated by the city’s former industrial zone, I engaged with the Mausoleum’s surroundings and the old stands of the Stª Bárbara football field, evoking the city’s past and present in collaboration with the participants in the project. The work seeked to turn memory into a living space of encounter between musicians, audience, and sites.
