Our colleague and good friend Vasco worked in communication for BOWING during the two years of the project. This is his testimony.
“BOWING is the missing bridge that connects Odemira to Kathmandu, São Teotónio to Dhaka, Vila Nova de Milfontes to New Delhi. A magnificent artistic and social project that emerged as a small oasis in the vast Alentejo plains, which in recent years have welcomed thousands of new inhabitants in search of a better life. I often recall the nights when I took Pramin home after the performances in 2021 and got to know him. We talked about our lives, music, our cultures, the state of the world, and realized that we had much more in common than we ever imagined. BOWING is synonymous with empathy, humanism, and a desire of getting to know the Other.”
