Ah Amália – Living Experience is an immersive, multi-sensory journey that celebrates the life and legacy of Amália Rodrigues, the iconic Queen of Fado. Combining cutting-edge technology such as virtual reality, holograms, and 360º videomapping, this experience offers a dynamic and interactive exploration of Amália’s world. Visitors are invited to step into meticulously designed themed rooms that showcase different facets of her life, from her music and poetry to her influence on fashion and cinema. This experience transcends traditional exhibitions by merging the physical and digital realms, allowing guests to not only learn about Amália but to feel her presence and the profound impact she had on Portuguese culture and the world.

Ah, Amália, Living Experience invites us to enter the life of the artist who continues to captivate the world, navigating through all its depth in an innovative, interactive and sensory way. More than an exhibition, it’s a living experience, because Amália is not just a cultural icon, but an emotional inspiration. And to truly know her, mere explanation isn’t enough. Amália’s essence is lived and experienced, absorbed and felt, continuously evolving. In the gerund. It won’t always appear the same.

An experience that only makes sense to us in this manner: sensory, alive. That encompasses all senses and emotions – sound, visuals, digital immersion and the unexpected.

Amália like never seen, heard or felt before. A dynamic and eternal experience that transcends time and space, leaving a lasting imprint in memory. And the spectator becomes an integral part of this exchange. Where each viewer becomes an active participant in this exchange.

All the experiences within this exhibition are woven into an immersive journey through various thematic environments, delving into the artist’s material and immaterial legacy. It features scenic installations, cutting-edge technology, dynamic and interactive content, along with storytelling that seamlessly merges the physical and digital realms. From a 360-degree audiovisual spectacle to a virtual reality film and a holographic performance, visitors will have the opportunity to explore a wide array of installations.

The Experience is located in the new venue 8 Marvila, located at Praça David Leandro da Silva 15 and 16, 1950-064 Marvila, Lisbon.
