Ode Marítima
Symphonic Choral Cantata by Nuno Côrte-Real
In the Grand Auditorium of the Centro Cultural de Belém, 200 musicians and an actor bring to life Ode Marítima by Álvaro de Campos, "one of the grandest and most profound poems the Portuguese language can boast."
For the communication language, AEQUIPA developed wavy typography as a visual metaphor, reflecting the dynamic nature of the work. In the silhouette of Fernando Pessoa, blue symbolizes the sea, while yellow adds contrast and ensures legibility. The torn paper effect is an analogy to the juxtaposition of the multiple “states of mind” within the work.
