Commissioned by Operafest and based on Canto V (Adamastor) from the epic poem "Os Lusíadas" (The Lusiads), Tormento is a cantata performance with music by composer Nuno da Rocha for female choir and electronics. Led by Gustavo Sumpta, it celebrates half a millennium of birth of Luís Vaz de Camões.
After the success of his performance Occulted Forces at last year’s Operafest, multifaceted artist Gustavo Sumpta focusses his attention on one of the greatest names in world literature and poetry- founder of modern Portuguese, the beacon of the country’s culture, Camões is a fascinating, controversial, passionate, adventurous, fearless figure who told our story, the tale of the discoveries, of life, of human condition, and on one of the most fascinating and tragic myths of the great Lusitanian epic.
