Rogério Duarte

This film shows people with constant psychological and social conflicts: the violence among outlaws, conflicts between man and woman, police and society.

Apocalipopótese documents a public art happening organized by Rogério Duarte with Hélio Oiticica and Lygia Pape. Duarte coined the event’s title by fusing the words apotheosis, hypothesis, and apocalypse, in order to describe a series of artistic actions that distanced themselves from artistic institutions to approach the streets as the main stage. Apocalipopótese shows a search for the margins as creative methodology.

A fragmented style, patchwork of interviews with Caetano Veloso's friends, mixed with conversations, thoughts, scenes of dance and literature excerpts.
