Something Like That

A fight over the telephone propels Heitor into a journey through the chaotic city streets to reconcile with Julia. Their personal history unfolds against the backdrop of the city and its people in a series of events representing the struggle between poetry and science.
Angelus Novus
To break with the logic of a historicist and positivist narrative, from the delirium, the mystical and the daydream. To search in the same cinematic experimentalism adventure, a time space image where the Angelus Novus is a call to risk and break with the linear logic of overwhelming conving story-telling. "For the incredible!" - Shouts the Angelus Novus.
Performance instead of acting and digital images enlarged and experimentally shot and edited.
Giraffe
6.1/10
A Danish summer: long days turn into blue nights. A tunnel is being built to connect Denmark and Germany. Three people meet and part ways again.
Divinely Evil
5.6/10

Ventura

Os Sertões - A Terra
From 2000 to 2007, Teat(r)o Oficina Uzyna Uzona worked on the staging of Euclides da Cunha's epic book, Os Sertões, which describes the 19th Century War of Canudos in the Brazilian "sertão"(backlands). The result was the pentalogy of plays: A Terra (2002), O Homem I (2003), O Homem II (2003), A Luta I (2005), and A Luta II (2006). This first play is a carnival opera, the actors are the earth, the vegetation, the wind, the animals, the rivers, the drought. It reveals the most intimate secrets of nature, that also vibrate in the human and trans-human arteries. This work enriched by the experience that the subsequent works brought gains an updated insight into the human interference in the environment. Destructive power is proportional to financial power, and the discussion about the way space gets occupied was brought to the forefront, including the real-estate boom that surrounds today not only Teatro Oficina, but the whole world, now hotter and more arid.
