1000 AMP Ride ("Cavalgada de Mil Amperes") is one of the verses of the long poem in which Álvaro de Campos suggests a sensory path for life and makes an apology for all sensations, summoning up a kaleidoscopic myriad of images that summon up all memories and turn them into characters and voices.
Álvaro de Campos, re-reading the poem so many years later, is joined by the voices of António Durães, actor and interpreter and reinventor of the poem and its sensitive grammar, and Márcio Décio who, together with João Figueiredo, composed music for these precise words, creating an unpredictable language, full of accents and slopes, to which Edgar Pêra's images bring another restlessness and uneasiness. The show is continually commenting on itself, or portraying itself, placing in dialogue, even if non-verbal and usually directed, characters who are always the same, but simultaneously disagree, criticise, raise other possibilities, add or display radically dissonant opinions. A show in permanent contradiction. Or contradiction sacrificing itself in spectacle, in the most sacred place there can be, where the summoning of the God-man, the being who feels everything and feels in every way, is the poet on fire, in the toothless mouth of the greatest poetry there can be.
