Audience & reader feedback
“It was a joy. Thank you for joining me.”
“Dear Marco, Dear Arena Team, Many congratulations on the initiative. It was a pleasure to participate in this reading and be part of such a diverse and therefore beautiful group. Hug.”
“Marco Martins, Arena Ensemble, Thank you for this beautiful message, overflowing with enthusiasm, for this open adventure in sharing words on the go, and for also receiving these images that mark that special afternoon in the garden. It was a risk in flight that all worked out. It was worth every breath on that stage. Long live diversity, dedication, and creativity. May more reading be born among all of us. See you soon, returning the hug.”
“I won’t forget the experience! Thank you very much for the invite. Reading it out loud, in that sound environment and framing was incredible. For me it was. For the other poor people! Hug!”
“My pleasure! It was a pleasure to make this (unique) trip, in such good company and in such a beautiful place… what a great adventure, Marco & Arena Ensemble. big hug.”
“Thank you very much Marco & AE for the invitation. I was very committed to taking the audience on an interesting journey. I’m glad it worked. It was also super stimulating for me. A hug.”
“Dear Marco, dear Mariana, dear Arena Ensemble team, It was a pleasure to welcome you to the Gulbenkian Foundation last Monday. We also want to congratulate you on an excellent project. We know well how difficult it is to set up a European project of this nature and, in particular, to ensure that its artistic dimension prevails over all others. It’s not easy at all, but your project is one of those rare cases. Congratulations. It was a beautiful day. With a grateful hug.”
“Good morning, Thank you everyone. It was a pleasure to contribute to the success of the event, together with the Arena production and the other Gulbenkian Foundation teams involved. I’m happy to know that the feedback from those who were there was so positive! Hugs and see you next time.”
“It’s always a pleasure to work with you!!”
“It was a special afternoon, between the meeting point and the ritual, sometimes engaging, sometimes not at all, but also special for that reason…..It was good to have seen the show before and feel it resonate here.”
