What the eyes don't see - The three Kings of the East: pilgrims of hope
5.30pm
(in Portuguese)
Starting from the short story “The three Kings of the East”, by Sophia de Mello Breyner, in Exemplary Tales, we accompany the kings on their pilgrimage to Bethlehem. Night pilgrims, restless, faced with golden calves, with deep doubts, with the sadness of the world, believe that there must be something else, discover the star and follow it. We will find them later in the Flemish paintings that represent the adoration of the Magi.
The Song of Kings, on the Museum's balcony, will close the Festive Cycle at MASF.
