In a world where we’re more apart from each other than ever, we meet a band that pulls the rug out and teaches us empathy. 5ª Punkada embark on a European tour and give us the chance to know them intimately while opening a window into the world of artists with disabilities.
Com amor, Medo follows the European tour of 5ª Punkada through four countries – the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia and Luxembourg. The punk energy, the music, the emotions of a band born in the Associação de Paralisia Cerebral de Coimbra. Fausto Sousa, one of the founding members, is the purest definition of punk, and his band is a life plan, which also includes Fátima Pinto, Jorge Maleiro and Miguel Duarte. A journey through joy, work, obstacles, resistance, difficulties and what it means to be an artist with disability. Preparing their second album and with an album released in 2021 by Omnichord – Somos Punks ou Não? – and performances at various festivals, 5ª Punkada’s career has been going for 30 years and has no signs of stopping.
