O lugar que ocupas

Apr 24, 2016
We stare at mirrors as if 'image' was a weapon of self-defense. At night, I hide in actors' dressing rooms for a working class experience. By day, I face an old theatre being razed to the ground, making way for a parking lot. Graffitis have curtains, the nose cap of an umbrella arises from a mount of sand. Oh, Happy Days! No need to stage anything! The bulldozer is a dinosaur whose teeth and gracious neck swings by a EU flag. In the boxes, we await the audience. Sometimes, nobody comes. Lost in a symbolic show of reality, I can only watch the world's end because all the endangered species perform and a reflecting labyrinth of life stories breaks through the glass of the Economic Eating Machine. Even when the sky is falling, theatre will always happen. So, choose the right place.

From a certain idea of Rousseauian rural purity, “Colmeal” is settled in the small homonymous village located in Riba-Côa, also known as ghost village, due to the effects of the rural exodus and the inland desertification. In an allegorical way, quite worked on the natural elements and the sound elements, the film tells the story of a young man who lives isolated and who obsessed by a woman who comes from the city to spend her summer vacation. Gradually, the young man tries to overcome the inability to deal with his emotions, seeking to discover himself, emotionally and sexually. Márcio Laranjeira and Sérgio Brás d’Almeida are debutants in Curtas Vila do Conde and propose a return to the themes of growing pains and transition to adulthood, with young people trying to find their place in the world and to define their personality, especially in context of social and loving relationships.

Où Schéhérazade raconte comment la désolation a envahi les hommes : « Ô Roi bienheureux, on raconte qu’une juge affligée pleurera au lieu de dire sa sentence quand viendra la nuit des trois clairs de lunes. Un assassin en fuite errera plus de quarante jours durant dans les terres intérieures et se télétransportera pour échapper aux gendarmes, rêvant de putes et de perdrix. En se souvenant d’un olivier millénaire, une vache blessée dira ce qu’elle aura à dire et qui est bien triste ! Les habitants d’un immeuble de banlieue sauveront des perroquets et pisseront dans les ascenseurs, entourés de morts et de fantômes, mais aussi d’un chien qui… ». Et le jour venant à paraître, Schéhérazade se tait. - « Quelles histoires ! C’est sûr qu’en continuant ainsi, ma fille va finir décapitée ! » – pense le Grand Vizir, père de Schéhérazade, dans son palais de Bagdad.
