First presented as a listening session at A Cassandra (Porto), this evolving work is developed around O Livro do Tigre (The Book of the Tiger), a project inspired by the homonymous book, Le Livre du Tigre, by sculptor, poet, and translator Isabel Meyrelles (Matosinhos, 1929), self-published in 1977.

In this project, Isabel Carvalho, who initiated the endeavor, recites a selection of poems in Portuguese, while their French versions are voiced by Emilienne Paoli. The project is enriched by original musical compositions from Rui Santos (aka Bug Snapper) and carefully crafted sound editing by Inês Lamares.
