“I know not what tomorrow will bring – The Fernando Pessoa audiotour” is a fifteen part documentary series dedicated to the Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa. It also works as a sound walk in Lisbon. Each episode was created having in mind a geographical location. The listener can experience this series in two different ways: through a physical journey or through an imaginary journey.
Fernando Pessoa’s story is told by those, critics, scholars, who study his life and legacy, and by his close relatives, his niece and nephew who shared a lot with him. Each episode crosses biographical and literary key aspects of Fernando Pessoa and can be listened independently.
You can listen to the episodes on streaming or download the audio files to your smartphone or mp3 player. You can also find a printable map on this website.
The title of this documentary recovers the last sentence written by Fernando Pessoa, the day before he died: “I know not what tomorrow will bring”.
