Architecture, Lisbon (No. 10)
The history of Lisbon, the capital city of Portugal, revolves around its strategic geographical position at the mouth of the Tagus, the longest river in the Iberian Peninsula. Its spacious and sheltered natural harbour made the city historically an important seaport for trade between the Mediterranean Sea and northern Europe. Lisbon has long enjoyed the commercial advantages of its proximity to southern and extreme western Europe, as well as to sub-Saharan Africa and the Americas, and today its waterfront is lined with miles of docks, wharfs, and drydock facilities that accommodate the largest oil tankers.
During the Neolithic period, pre-Celtic peoples inhabited the region; remains of their stone monuments still exist today in the periphery of the city. Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in western Europe, with a history that stretches back to its original settlement by the indigenous Iberians, the Celts, and the eventual establishment of Phoenician and Greek trading posts (c. 800–600 BC), followed by successive occupations in the city of various peoples including the Carthaginians, Romans, Suebi, Visigoths, and Moors. Roman armies first entered the Iberian peninsula in 219 BC, and occupied the Lusitanian city of Olissipo (Lisbon) in 205 BC, after winning the Second Punic War against the Carthaginians. With the collapse of the Roman Empire, waves of Germanic tribes invaded the peninsula, and by 500 AD, the Visigothic Kingdom controlled most of Hispania.

hiii!! I've been reading your latest updates and I really loved your the toddler ones, can you please make one where the manager was with their nephew and the child looks like a mix of them and Sae, and Sae meet them while they were out and went with them throughout the day and even went to the zoo acting like the parents, and then came the paparazzi posting the news that their already married with a kid. I really want to see the boys reactions since their overseas
Author: Lmao the idea took me to out! LOVED IT! Here u go and I hope u like it! Thanks for the request 🩷
Warnings ⚠️: Reader uses she/her. Requests are open.
⚽️Blue lock belongs to:Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Yusuke Nomura⚽️
One thing (Y/n) cherished a lot was her time off, not only will she have time to recharge and do whatever she wants, but also will have time to visit her older step-brother and his family. Ever since he left Japan to work in Portugal and got married there, (Y/n) only saw him during the holidays. They were pretty close growing up and it stayed that way to this day. So the 2 weeks break she got from the Bastard München team she used to fly out to Lisbon and spend her time with her brother, sister-in-law and her little nephew. Today (Y/n) took the little boy out and planned a zoo trip, some arcade games and dinner.
"Aunty! Can we please get ice cream after this?!" The red-haired boy asked (Y/n), who tightly held his hand as they walked through the crowd of people.
"Huh? Sure thing, Marc but you have to listen to me and not let my hand go, alright?" (Y/n) asked as the little boy nodded his head quickly. The older smiled at the redhead and finally got to the less crowded part of the sidewalk.
"Will we see lions there?"
"If course! A big, big family of lions!" (Y/n) grinned as Marc cheered. The girl smiled at the 4-year-olds reaction, but it was soon wiped off of her face as she felt someone grab her shoulder.
"What the?!" (Y/n) turned around and hid Marc behind herself as she looked at the person in front of her.
"Hey, sorry for scaring you. I didn't want to yell across the street and get unwanted attention."
Recognizing the voice, (Y/n) sighed in relief as Sae took of his mask and gave her a small nod.
"Sae-san, I didn't expect seeing you in Portugal of all places." The girl said, relaxing as Marc looked up at the redhead.
"Wah! You are Sae Itoshi! I am a huge fan!" The little boy exclaimed as he ran to hug Sae's leg.
"Marc, don't do that! It's rude to hug people out of nowhere." (Y/n) started scolding the boy, but Sae interrupted her as he crouched down to look the boy in the eyes.
"It's nice to meet you, Marc. Do you want to be a football player too?"
"Yeah! I want to play forward like you! My dad will enroll me in a club in two years!" Marc cheered, excited to that one of his idols was standing in front of him.
"Really? Do you have a favorite club?"
"Bastard München!" Marc said, causing Sae to raise his eyebrow.
"And why that?"
Marc grinned and grabbed (Y/n)'s leg while puffing out his chest.
"Because my aunty is their manager!" The said girl blushed a little and picked Marc up and Sae stood up straight.
"Ahh... that shouldn't really be your sole reason, Marc." (Y/n) told the redhead.
"Why? It's a good reason!" The boy pouted as Sae spoke up again.
"He is right, the reasoning is pretty good."
"What?" The girl wondered as Sae moved closer.
"I mean, you as a manager in Bastard is enough of a reason to like the club. I will tell you a secret, Marc. I am a fan of Bastard too, thanks to your aunty." Sae said, pretending to whisper it as Marc cheered. (Y/n) was meanwhile blushing a little from those words.
"A-ah... you flatter me too much, Sae-san."
"Not enough, in my opinion."
'Why is he so nonchalant?!' She thought as Marc waved her hand around, catching both of their attention.
"Can Sae-san please come with us today? Please, aunty." The boy gave the girl his usual puppy eyes and (Y/n) groaned.
"Marc, I am sure Sae-san has better things to do-"
"I really don't." Sae interrupted, getting the attention of the duo.
"I just finished an interview and am pretty much free for the rest of the day. Where are you two going?" Marc cheered at that, saying how they plan on going to the zoo.
"Are you sure we won't be a bother?" (Y/n) asked as Sae nodded his head.
"Yeah, let's go then. The zoo might get crowded again." The redhead told her calmly and she nodded her head. Putting Marc down, the boy hugged Sae's leg again. Before (Y/n) could scold him tho, the football player took the boy's hand.
"Shall we go?" Sae asked and (Y/n) nodded her head.
'I need to tell my manager to cancel those interviews for today.' Sae thought as he took his phone out.
'He is really good with kids and always so relaxed.' (Y/n) thought, smiling a little.
"I have unbelievable news! No sir, this is for the headliners!" The man who interviewed Sae just mere minutes ago said as he saw the interaction between the football player, (Y/n) and Marc.
"Yes, it's about THE Sae Itoshi. Listen, I will bring you the pictures and you will see what I mean." The man said, quickly following after them.
"Giraffes! Look!" Marc yelled excitedly as Sae lifted him up to get a better look at the animal. (Y/n) smiled and took a picture of the two, making sure the animal was in it too.
"They are really cute, Marc. There is even a baby over there." (Y/n) pointed excitedly as the boy turned to look at it.
"You want to take another picture?" Sae asked as (Y/n) shook her head.
"You probably had enough of that for the day-"
"I don't mind. Just take a picture." Sae said gently and she thought over it for a moment.
"Don't think too much about it, I am fine with you taking pictures."
"A-alright." (Y/n) answered, flustered with how he worded it. She took the picture and Sae put Marc down and she approached them.
"Do you want to see the lions next?" (Y/n) asked Marc and he nodded his head, grabbing the girl's hand.
"Let's go!"
Chuckling Sae followed after them, neither noticing the same reporter taking pictures of them. But aside from the reporter, a few football fans recognized Sae from the distance. Both shocked at the sight of the player with a redhaired kid and the Bastard München manager.
"Are they dating?"
"They could be married too. Look at the kid." The boy said to his friend, who inspected Marc's hair.
"Oh shit! It looks eerily similar to Sae's..."
"Maybe that dating rumor from a year ago had some truth to it..." The two said in sync.
"So, where do you want to go and eat?" Sae asked as they left the zoo while he held one of Marc's hand and (Y/n) held the other.
"I think there is a nice restaurant nearby, based on my research. They also have a cute playground for kids." Marc's eyes lightened up at that and Sae nodded his head.
"Did you have a weird feeling that we are being watched?" (Y/n) asked as Sae looked around in confusion, shaking his head.
"Not really. But enough of that, did you think about the offer?" (Y/n)'s breath hitched and she looked at Sae, who was sporting a serious expression.
"About that... I don't know..."
Sae sighed and nodded his head.
"Alright."
'I will wait, even if it takes years.'
"Say, I will be leaving for Madrid tomorrow evening. Want to meet up for breakfast?" Sae asked as (Y/n) thought the offer over and nodded her head.
"Sure. The hotel I am staying has a restaurant, the food is pretty good, we can meet up there." She suggested. The older Itoshi said nothing as he nodded his head, satisfied with how the day was ending.
The next day Sae arrived at the said hotel and immediately felt like something was off. Everyone at the reception was looking at him oddly and were whispering when (Y/n) joined him. While both were used to those things, due to their club connections, this was pretty off.
"Am I wearing my clothes the wrong way?" (Y/n) asked Sae as they waited for their meal. Sae took a sip from his coffee and shook his head.
"No, but it is weird how many people are looking at us..."
Just then, a waitress approached the two, clearly nervous as she held onto her phone.
"E-Excuse me..." She said.
"Yes?" (Y/n) said calmly, nudging Sae who still held his stoic look.
"Can... we were asked to take a picture of you two? It's not really everyday we have guests of your status here."
"Our status?" (Y/n) raised her eyebrow.
"Sure, but please make it quick." Sae sighed as the waitress quickly nodded her head and snapped 2 pictures.
"Thank you so much, Mr. and Mrs. Itoshi. By the way, you son is really adorable." The girl said as (Y/n) spat out her drink back into the cup. Flabbergasted, Sae watched the girl walk off and both were left to look at each other weirdly.
"What was that about?" Sae wondered as (Y/n)'s phone rang. Recovering from her shock she took the phone and looked down at the display.
'Ness? Why is he calling?' (Y/n) thought as she took the call.
"H-hello-"
"Where is he?! Where is the bastard unable to use a condom?!" Kaiser's loud yelling boomed through the phone and (Y/n) flinched a little.
"What? Who? And why are you using Ness' phone, Kaiser? Where is he?" Sae furrowed his eyebrows as he observed the scene.
"Ness is currently passed out thanks to your beloved hubby." Kasier growled.
"Hubby? Who? I didn't even have a boyfriend yet-"
"Ja ja, now where is he?"
"Who?"
Kaiser sighed from the other side and tried to speak up more calmly.
"Sae Itoshi, where is he?"
"Sae-san? He is here-"
"Give him the phone. And you will have a talk with the PR team for this once you come back."
"About what?" (Y/n)'s eyes widened and she nervously looked at Sae.
"You secretly marrying Sae and him not being able to control himself. Or better yet, wear a condom. The news about you two having a lovey-dovey time with your son yesterday is all over Germany." (Y/n) chocked on her spit and Sae got up from his seat to check on her.
"Are you alright? Give me the phone?" The redhead said.
"Kaiser, that was my nephew-"
"Is that Itoshi?! Give him to me!"
(Y/n) let out a groan as Sae took the phone from her and she put her head in her hands.
"Everything will be alright. Calm down." Sae said calmly as he kept on ignoring Kaiser's yelling.
Bastard München...
"Why is Kaiser yelling on the phone? And what even happened to Ness?" Isagi asked Noel, who was on the phone texting someone.
"Yukimiya, come help me lift him up." Kunigami called the brunette over.
"Kaiser is yelling at Sae right now and Ness passed out when we got a call from our PR team."
"What even happened? It can't be bad enough for Ness to pass out." Hiori comments as Kurona stared at Kaiser, who was switching from English to German.
"And what does Sae have to do with this?"
"Apparently Sae and (Y/n) are married and have a kid. A reporter in Portugal caught them yesterday." Noel explained as he showed Isagi an article. Kunigami and Yukimiya froze in their spots, causing Ness to fall on the ground again.
"What?!" The two exclaimed as Isagi went to grab Kaiser's phone and talk with Sae himself. Hiori and Kurona had completely opposite reactions. Kurona went completely numb while Hiori went to throw up in a nearby trash can.
"What's with all this yelling?" Gagamaru raised his eyebrow while walking into the locker room.
Barcha....
"Now... I know you two are mad..."  Lavinho said from the other side of the locked door, flinching as Otoya tried to kick it open again.
"We are not mad~" Bachira answered and Lavinho rolled his eyes.
"Listen, shit happens. So what if Sae married (Y/n) and they have a kid together-"
Lavinho cut himself off as Otoya kicked the door harder.
"At least he took responsibility-"
"He should have stayed away, simple." Otoya said back in malice, and Lavinho could only imagine the expression he had on his face.
"Please let us out, Lavinho. We won't do anything."
"Bachira... you went into rage and nearly kicked someone unconscious."
"So what?!"
Lavinho facepalmed, already knowing that the match between Barcha and Madrid will be even more hostile than needed to be.
Ubers...
"No Oliver, you can not drop kick Sae. I already told you that."  Snuffy said as he glared at his 4 Japanese players.
"Great, then I can-"
"No Baro, also not kick a ball to his face. Can you stop crying, Niko? So what if (Y/n) gave birth to Sae's kid-"
"Don't even finish that sentence! We are grieving!" Aryu said, now crying along with Niko. Snuffy rolled his eyes as Lorenzo kept Oliver and Baro from escaping.
"We should honestly forbid you 4 from leaving Italy." The coach commented.
"He touched our manager, we are allowed to beat him up for that!" Baro argued.
"Well, he didn't do anything illegal. Sae is her husband now-"
"Lorenzo, shut the hell up! Don't say such blasphemy!" Oliver cried out as he fell on the grass field.
Manshine...
"I am kind of offended they didn't tell us anything. Their child looks cute tho!" Chris grinned as Chigiri cried into the table.
"I agree with you, Chigiri. You think they will invite us to their anniversary? Oh, I have so many decoration ideas."
"I rather you break my right leg. What's the point of playing anymore? What's the point of living?" Chigiri cried out.
Meanwhile in the medical room Nagi was slowly waking up from his slumber while Reo was calling someone.
"What happened? What day is it? Did we win the World Cup?" Nagi asked as he sat up. Reo looked over at his friend and shook his head.
"Today is Friday, we didn't win the World Cup yet and an article came out of (Y/n) and Sae being married and having a child." Reo explained as Nagi nodded his head.
"(Y/n) and... Sae have a... child?" The albino asked as his eyes slowly widened. Reo nodded his head and watched as Nagi fainted again.
'This is like the 3rd time...' The purple-haired boy thought.
"Hello, Reo what did you need?" A woman's voice was heard from the other side.
"Hey mom, I have a question for you."
"What is it?" The woman yawned.
"How would you feel if I married a widow with a child?" Reo asked, sounding serious as ever.
"What?!"
"Just asking, hypothetically."
PXG...
"Shidou, give me my phone back!" Karasu sighed as he put his pants on, watching as the younger Itoshi chased Shidou around, who held his phone as he laughed.
'This is like kindergarten.' Karasu thought as the phone in question started ringing.
Shidou looked at the display and grinned.
"Oh! It's your mom, Rinnie!"
"Give me my phone, you imbecile!" Rin yelled as Shidou shook his head.
"Nah, this is what you get for not passing even one ball to me." The blonde sighed and answered the call, putting it on speaker.
"Are you out of your mind?!"
"What?! Rin, is that you?!" The boy bit back a groan and chose to answer as Karasu and Shidou watched the scene in amusement.
"Sorry mom, what did you need?" Rin asked.
"I need you to pick the next possible flight to Portugal!"
"Why Portugal?"
"We are going to meet your nephew and our grandson!" His mom's words nearly caused Shidou to drop the phone as all three stared at it in shock.
"Nephew?! Did Sae knock someone up?!" Rin asked as Karasu held back a gasp.
"Not someone! It turns out my baby got married without even telling us and has a child with the girl. Your father is trying to reach him but he isn't picking up."
"Married?! Who?!" Shidou yelled, quickly covering up his mouth after that.
"Who?!" Rin repeated.
"Remember your manager in Blue Lock, (L/n) (Y/n) was it? Well her! Oh! They look so adorable! And the child even has Sae's hair color!" His mom gushed as Karasu's jaw dropped along with Shidou's. Rin's body meanwhile shook with rage as he calmly took back his phone and went to take his stuff.
"Yeah... I am on my way there." Rin said as he held back a scream.
"Good! Give Sae a hug from us! We will be there as soon as possible too." With that his mom ended the call and he walked out of the locker room, leaving his two shocked teammates behind.
"I sure will... it will leave him breathless." Rin murmured, hitting a nearby wall.

Dear God, the Parthenon is still broken is a photographic vignette by Yorgos Lanthimos. Although created on the set of the film Poor Things in Budapest, the book inhabits a separate world, untethered from time and place.
The photographs drift between black and white and colour, giving the impression of a waking dream between past and present, whilst multiple layers between reality and fiction are gradually revealed. The film was set in various late 19th century locations including London, Lisbon, Marseille, and a cruise ship—all recreated in Budapest. These constructed cities and interiors provide the backdrop for the photographs. The characters populate these imagined cities whilst the precarious screens, scaffolding, rigs, lighting and crew are divulged on the periphery of the images. Lanthimos has intentionally widened the frame to show the workings of the construct, fabricating a new story within the story. To mirror this, the publication is designed with foldouts to reveal these constructs within the cast of characters—the reader opens a book within a book.
In reaction to the fast-moving creation of the film, Lanthimos embraced the opportunity to use a large-format camera to make these images, focusing on stillness, tonality and light. Deciding on a composition and not changing this until the exposure was complete, each picture provided him with a meditative time of focus. The creative process of making the images extended to collaboration with the actress Emma Stone who played the role of Bella Baxter in the film, for which she was awarded an Oscar. Through working together on previous projects, Lanthimos and Stone have developed a unique creative partnership. After a busy day of filming, they would develop the colour 6x7 negatives and the b&w 4x5 sheet film together in a makeshift darkroom in a bathroom. This alchemic act offered them both a creative outlet beyond the realm and constraints of the film.
The title of the book ‘Dear God, the Parthenon is still broken’ comes from a postcard that the character of Bella Baxter was to send to her father, God, from Athens. The scene was cut from the final version of the film.
The book opens with a previously unpublished poem by Patti Smith, inspired by the film.
Tumblr media
Yorgos Lanthimos, was born in Athens, Greece. A versatile creative, in addition to directing dance and music videos, TV commercials, short films, and theatre plays, he has also photographed editorials and fashion campaigns. His breakthrough came with the film ‘Dogtooth’ (2009), earning an Un Certain Regard Prize at Cannes and an Oscar nomination. ‘The Lobster’ (2015) won a Jury Prize at Cannes and the European Film Awards. This was followed by ‘The Favourite’ (2018) which earned Olivia Colman an Oscar. His latest film, ‘Poor Things’, won Venice's Golden Lion and four Oscars. ‘Dear God, the Parthenon is still broken’ (Void) is Lanthimos' first photography monograph.

Get to know me better…
Tagged by: @bluesrocknrollingstones
Last Song: Opium Tea by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds /// 2004 (Spotify put it in a recommended playlist for me, but I actually did go to one of his concerts at the Beacon Theatre last year).
Currently Watching: Not much of anything, except the occasional film, since I’ve been traveling/doing research work for the past month and a half and will be until the beginning of September. The friend I’m with right now and I did watch a few episodes of Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown last night, though.
Currently Reading: Колымские рассказы Варлама Шаламова (1978), The Golden House by Salman Rushdie (2017), and a bunch of random chapters in academic books/journals in Portuguese on early modern diplomacy, Jews, etc. to practice before I go to Lisbon in August.
Current Obsession: Trying to find a miniature stone Chinese guardian lion statue to take home with me from Taiwan and a 24 hour gym I can use while I’m in Portugal (London has the advantage there, I’m afraid, because they’re practically on every street corner).
Tagging: Anyone who’d like to join in.

Psychic Company: Case 01 - Athena Pt.3
"They say the artifact is bound to you, becomes your true soul in a sense. Keep it safe because more than just your life may depend on it."

Evens Arts Prize 2021
Tumblr media
The Evens Arts Prize 2021 is awarded to choreographer and dancer Marlene Monteiro Freitas, with a Special Mention of the Jury for artist Andrea Büttner.
The biennial Prize honours artists who engage with the challenges of contemporary Europe. The laureates were selected by an independent jury from nominations put forward by 25 representatives of cultural institutions across Europe.
The Jury of the 2021 edition was composed of Daniel Blanga Gubbay, Artistic Co-Director of Kunstenfestivaldesarts, Brussels; Manuel Borja-Villel, Director of Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid; Carlo Chatrian, Artistic Director of the Berlinale, Berlin; Anne Hilde Neset, Director of Kunstnernes Hus, Oslo; and Christine Standfest, Dramaturg, Curator, ImPulsTanz Festival, Vienna. The Jury Chair is Ernest Van Buynder, Honorary Chairman, M KHA, Antwerp.
Curated by Anne Davidian for Evens Foundarion.
The Laureate Marlene Monteiro Freitas (born in 1979, Cape Verde) is a choreographer, artist, and the founder of the Lisbon-based production and dance company P.OR.K. With a career spanning over 15 years, Freitas has earned a reputation for creating visually and sensorially rich performances.
“Freitas invests in the construction of worlds where lush, evil, illness, madness and opulence are underlined – excesses that the choreographer proposes us to meet through the confrontation with surprising visual scenarios and performers’ strong physical language,” explain Tiago Rodrigues, Director, Festival d’Avignon, and Cristina Grande, Head of the Performing Arts Department, Serralves Foundation, Porto, who nominated Freitas for the Prize.
Freitas' recent creations include Pierrot Lunaire (2021), which premiered at Wiener Festwochen, Mal – Embriaguez Divina (2020), 2020 Bacchae - Prelude to a Purge (2017). In 2018 La Biennale di Venezia awarded the artist the Silver Lion for Dance.
Jury statement The jury recognised the singular and compelling force of the choreographic worlds created by the artist Marlene Monteiro Freitas. Daring and experimental, their sensorial immediacy draws discrete audiences into contact with a dazzling interplay of bodies, energies and effects.
The jury particularly praised the artist’s rich and layered scrutiny of European cultural traditions and their legacies. Often merging genres, myths and allegories, the works deftly undermine implicit power structures, reimagining traditions not as fixed absolutes, but as fluid encounters between subjectivities.
The Special Mention of the Jury The jury chose to award a Special Mention to Berlin-based visual artist Andrea Büttner. The Special Mention distinction was introduced in 2019 as a way to recognise outstanding work and contributions to the European art scene.
Andrea Büttner (1972, Stuttgart, Germany) connects art history with social and ethical issues, exploring broad-ranging topics such as poverty, work, community, belief, botany, Catholicism, and philosophy. Her work is based on thorough research into specific areas or situations and is articulated through diverse formats including printmaking, sculpture, painting, photography, and video. "The artistic project of Andrea Büttner proposes a bridge between different historical eras and worldviews, showing ways of being together that arise out of the gaps that divide people", explains Lars Bang Larsen, Co-Director, Art Hub, Copenhagen, who nominated the artist for the Prize.
Shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 2017, Büttner had numerous solo exhibitions at institutions worldwide, including Kunstmuseum Basel (2023), Bergen Kunsthall (2018); Hammer Museum (2017); Kunsthalle Wien (2016); Walker Art Center (2015); Tate Britain (2014). She teaches at Kunsthochschule Kassel and has authored several books.
Jury statement The Special Mention of the Jury is given to the artist Andrea Büttner for her rich, multifaceted work, that composes and dismantles relationships between cultural registers, philosophical and aesthetic traditions of Western modernity, and European histories of fascism and exploitation.
With her in-depth research into the systems of value and practices of craftmanship, her works weave intricate connections between dignity, shame, religion, care, and labour. The jury particularly noted Büttner’s ability to uncover the transformative potentials of collaborative processes, illuminating otherwise shrouded forms of resistance, togetherness, and community.
The nominators of the Evens Arts Prize 2021 Aaron Cesar, Director, Delphina Foundation, London; Andrea Lissoni, Director, Haus der Kunst, Munich; Bart de Baere, Director, M HKA, Antwerp; Lars Bang Larsen, Co-Director, Art Hub, Copenhagen; Beatrice Fiorentino, International Film Critics Week, Venice Film Festival; Björn Gottstein, Artistic Director, Donaueschinger Musiktage, Donaueschingen; Cristina Grande, Head of the Performing Arts Department, Serralves Foundation, Porto; Christophe Slagmuylder, Artistic Director, Wiener Festwochen, Vienna; Christos Carras, Director, Onassis Foundation, Athens; Ekaterina Degot, Steirischer Herbst, Graz; Eva Sangiorgi, Artistic Director, Viennale, Vienna; Farid Rakun, Artistic Co-Director, documenta 15; Frank Madlener, Director, IRCAM, Paris; Julia Eckhardt, Artistic Director, Q-02, Brussels; Maialen Beloki Berasategui, Deputy Director, San Sebastien Film Festival; Malgorzata Ludwisiak, Board Member, CiMAM; Marcella Lista, Chief Curator, Centre Pompidou, Paris; Marta Keil, Director, Performing Arts Institute, Warsaw; Mathilde Henrot, Selector, Locarno Film Festival; Niklas Engstrøm, Artistic Director, CPH:DOX, Copenhagen; Silvia Fanti, Artistic Director, Live Arts Week /Xing, Bologna; Teja Reba, Program Director, City of Woman, Ljubliana; Tiago Rodrigues, Artistic Director, Teatro National Dona Maria II, Lisbon; and Virve Sutinen, Artistic Director, Tanz im August Festival, Berlin.

Architecture, Lisbon (No. 9)
Church of the Magdalene (Portuguese: Igreja da Madalena) is a church in Lisbon, Portugal. Its portal is classified as a National Monument.
The Magdalene Church that currently exists is the result of several reconstructions. The original structure was erected in 1150 or 1164, by order of D. Afonso Henriques. In 1363, a fire completely destroyed the church, and Ferdinand I of Portugal had it rebuilt. In 1600 the church was partially destroyed by a cyclone. In 1755 the church was demolished by the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. In 1783 Queen Maria I of Portugal had to rebuild the church again. In 1833, the church underwent some changes.
The church portal, a Manueline trefoil arch that was salvaged intact following the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, was classified as a National Monument in 1910.
