Danced tour.
Conference on colour.
Trio Ultimatum concert.
The Contemporary Occupation of Milreu revives the Roman Ruins of Milreu and inhabits the heritage space through a danced tour that provides a guided visit to the ruins, a conference on the use of color in the surrounding space and a chamber music concert.
Aiming to overcome the frontier of time, the event dissolves many other frontiers and allows a perspective of union, where cultures and religions overlap, and where each person is a little bit of the other.
