CORDÃO – Coro de Doentes e Amigos Oncológicos
CORDÃO is a community choir made up of cancer patients in treatment or remission and their friends. Friends here are all those who are close by: partners, siblings, children, parents, friends. Those who help carry the weight of the word ‘cancer’ and all that it brings with it.
It sounds strange, but cancer is just like that: it turns the world upside down and everything seems to stop making sense. Figuratively, a cordão (a cord) is something that unites, that binds. With the main aim of combating the social isolation of cancer patients and their carers, this CORDÃO wants to connect people, binding together new ways of living and looking at cancer.
Project supported under the 3rd edition of the PARTIS & Art for Change initiative, promoted by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the ‘la Caixa’ Foundation.
