Drama Queen

The artists of the collective As Talavistas, and Gabriela Luíza, join the artists Duca Caldeira, Dyony Moura, Jô Arllen and Vidrynha and design studio and method of filming inside a house. Two years later, SESSÃO BRUTA returns to exchange and immerses itself in a filmic game with fiction and narrative, with jokes and criticism, with close-ups and intimacy, with the presence and the remote. Cinema, culture are things taken as a perspective of link, claim, painting and stage. Refounding the scene as an idea and process, and its political and plastic implications.

In an old, dilapidated mansion in downtown São Paulo, an old Shakespearean actor exiled from the stage lives with his ghosts. In his bed, surrounded by red curtains taken from an abandoned theater, he dreams of the plague and fire spreading throughout the country. A strange community forms around the old actor.
