Five musicians and a sound body made of porcelain. This is how “Queria? Já não quer!?” was born, a creation by the company WeTumTum, presented as part of the 2025 Aveiro International Biennial of Artistic Ceramics, with the support of Costa Verde.
In this unique performance, porcelain ceases to be merely a material and transforms into an instrument, a set, and a source of inspiration. In a traveling show where percussion gains new textures, porcelain becomes musical objects, revealing unexpected sounds and images that echo the gesture, the touch, and the vibration of the earth.
Between fragility and strength, rhythm and silence, a sensory landscape is constructed, inviting the audience to listen with their eyes and see with their ears—a celebration of tactile listening and imperfect beauty, made of earth, breath, and vibration.
By associating with this project, Costa Verde reinforces its commitment to valuing Portuguese porcelain and promoting creativity and innovation in the sector. The partnership symbolizes the meeting of industrial tradition and artistic experimentation, highlighting the expressive potential of porcelain as a living, sonorous, and culturally identifiable material.
