We have the top three picks for this Monday, and below there is a list of bars and lounges that are always a good option.
LIVE:
SUBCENA #07 @ Audio Rebel (Botafogo) – The poet Angélica Freitas and the musician Juliana Perdigão come together in a session that celebrates the lack of control and the randomness of the word and the sound.
“Coisas que voam” (Things that fly) is the starting point for this joint creation of Angélica Freitas and Juliana Perdigão.
Side by side, in this drift, they pick things that inspire them, for example a famous Brazilian priest who went floating off aimlessly into the air.
This will be a night for those who like something experimental and challenging. Angélica Freitas and Juliana Perdigão will be playing a game of capturing moments shared by all of us and then throwing them back at the audience.
Angélica Freitas and Juliana Perdigão’s performance will start at 8PM and costs R$20. This Monday performance is part of a monthly program of poetry and music that takes place at Audio Rebel.
The duo Liv Lagerblad and Ernesto Sena will open the evening’s proceedings.
