The communication aims to present the artistic, musical and transdisciplinary research work carried out in different educational, curricular and social contexts, germinated from the musical work of which I am also the author, Paluí: 1) Paluí: Histórias Sonoras que a Língua Portuguesa Conta (2014-17), involving the school community of Santa Maria da Feira; and, 2) Paluí: Histórias Sonoras para Cantos Interiores (2018-19), realised and presented at Casa da Música (Porto). With particular emphasis on the latter, which involved students and teachers of Music and Design from the Department of Communication and Art (DeCA) of the University of Aveiro, Superior School of Education (ESE) of the Polytechnic Institute of Porto, children and educators from CIAQ (Aveiro), users of Magalhães Lemos Hospital (Porto), and an artist from Casa da Música, the key concepts and ideas that made it possible to interpret and theoretically justify its problematic and lines of study (artistic, educational/ didactic and social), respective objectives, designs and research and realisation processes will be briefly explained, and finally several excerpts from the artistic results achieved will be shown. Given the particularity and interest of the theme for the audience in question, aspects related to the nature and significance of the experiences developed in the context of the different human "stages" under study - such as the possibilities for expressive, inventive and creative development of the different participants, the collective process that guided the methodology of conceiving and building the project and show, its implications taking into account this diversity, the concept of a musical and transdisciplinary show and its scope of approach - will be highlighted; as well as its articulation and relationship with educational, didactic and social inclusion purposes, in this case combating the stigma of mental illness.
