“A mina contamina” is a show tells the story of a drop of rain water that becomes #polluted by #heavyMetals as it falls in and underground mine. The story is told dialogically, in a conversation between the drop and a White wagtail that is warned of the perils of drinking water from the #stream, learning about the processes of #acid #mine drainage and #bioaccumulation, but also of the human #greed and #unsustainability behind mining pollution.

Cantaram incessantemente slogans anti-minas como “assim, assim, bate o coração da montanha”, “não à mina, sim à cultura”, que se intensificaram com a chegada dos primeiros convidados à gala. Por parte destes últimos, não faltaram reacções de surpresa à resposta cidadã, manifestando desconhecimento das razões da mesma.
