Nocturna

2023, XX. Directed by Pedro Florêncio.

A cinematographic adaptation of the piece Poema, by the Portuguese thinker Tomás Maia. An audiovisual poiesis, “presented in a double movement, of flux and reflux, descending and ascending, in a veiled revisitation of the myth of Orpheus—but removing from the myth the male figure (and, therefore, any heroism) and transforming Eurydice into poetry itself, which, unlike the dead, rises above the underground” (from the piece’s original synopsis). A short movie about death, life and art.
