CALAFONAS: Back for a Beat of Saudades

In this dinner-performance, Project Calafonas invites the audience to listen, taste, and remember. The event expands on their ongoing research into the soundscapes of the Portuguese-Azorean diaspora in North America, specifically the disco and pop aesthetics of the 1970s and 80s. DJ Milhafre (Henrique Ferreira) will guide a listening party blending archival tracks with contemporary interpretations. The menu, created by Azorean chef Hugo Ferreira, will be executed in collaboration with Mitch Mauricio, a local chef and recurrent partner of the festival. Together, they evoke culinary memories of nights gone by—a festive and reflective gathering where food, sound, and memory become tools to reimagine cultural heritage.
