Cobertos pelo Céu is a collection of interactive installations and performances centred on the relationship between landscape and art, experience and poetic discourse. Conceived by choreographer and artist Gustavo Ciríaco, the project is driven by the curiosity of how the creation of space and experiences of landscape intersect in the poetic signature of Portuguese and Latin American artists of music, dance, sculpture, painting and performance.

Seduced by the way artists perceive and express the world through space, Ciríaco embarks on a voyage of discovery through the spatial poetics of these creators and their unique ways of being mirrors of the world.
