Água que Mira
Lisbon
Água que Mira is not merely a musical group or a creative project, but rather the outcome of over ten years of collaboration between musicians and artists Pedro Castanheira and Caroline Oulman Carp. Their creative partnership has already given rise to numerous and varied projects, performed on stage through different artistic styles and languages.
Always in search of new challenges, this chameleonic duo does not shy away from adopting new forms in their pursuit of a certain irreverence and provocation—whether through composing original music or reimagining and reinterpreting classics, some more timeless than others.
To that end, the duo ventures beyond the traditional concert format, incorporating musical theatre, contemporary circus, cabaret, and performance art, offering a diverse “menu” of live shows.
This musical duo ÁGUA QUE MIRA creates a melodic blend that fuses traditional Portuguese music, such as fado, with influences from jazz, classical music, and Mediterranean and Arab rhythms, resulting in an original, poetic, and immersive sound.
They explore various formats and artistic worlds:
Jazz / Original Music: Original compositions with sophisticated arrangements and floating atmospheres, where voice and instruments engage in a dialogue between tradition and modernity.
Cabaret Concert – Immersive shows that mix jazz, cabaret, burlesque, contemporary circus, and performance, reinventing jazz and pop classics with loop-station effects, humor, sensuality, and theatrical flair.
Musical Theatre – A Burla da Velha Lisboa / A Burla do Fado: Performances that combine music, theatre, and historical research, recreating the bohemian and marginal universe of old Lisbon. Fado is "twisted" and reimagined with original lyrics and documentary-based narratives, giving voice to real characters from Lisbon’s past spanning over 150 years.
The project stands out for its artistic versatility, historical depth, and the way it merges music, literature, theatre, and performance to create unique, culturally rooted experiences.
