Amuleto Apotropaico

Amuleto Apotropaico, a musical project by Francisco Pedro Oliveira and António Feiteira, revolves around oracular rituals that lead along incomprehensible paths of vertigo and delirium, concentric only in a deliberate spirituality. By reinterpreting folkloric motifs, the duo focuses on the idea of collective memory.

On the way to releasing their first album, which departs from the visceral counterpoint between guitar and percussion to (in)concretise a new synthetic esotericism, the duo proposes a unique performance concert – an expanded staging that uses the reinterpretation of folk motifs to invoke the ghosts of collective memory.

This performance forms part of the public programme for the exhibition Primal Form by Francisco Pedro Oliveira.
