“O Crepitar da Terracota” is a fantasy and sci-fi literary trilogy, a format that is little explored in Portugal, especially by Portuguese authors. It deals with various ethnicities, cultures, genders and religions in a futuristic world where humans are going through a period of great hardship and deprivation. The first volume of the trilogy, “Fogo” (Fire), is the first part of the project, which included hiring a Portuguese animation studio, Puto Studio, and a sound studio, Estúdios Origami, to create its teaser book. The story of the trilogy was originally conceived for animation, while maintaining the ambition to adapt it for film or series. It is therefore intended that the second and third volumes will also include animated book teasers and will achieve more artistic collaborations in order to explore the full potential of this wonderful story.
