Brazil, 68', Well Darwin and Paula Petreca
Demonic beings, pastoral animals, mermaids, sailors, sea monsters, old ladies, and foreigners are figures that emerge in the body of the dancer, who, like a troubadour, narrates with her dances, acts of passion, and misadventures. Trovas is a solo dance in three acts, each revisiting myths from Lusitanian culture, exposing tensions with other cultures related to the colonial process and the complex maritime expansion, and opening the dancer’s body to deal with contradictions and emotions that mark her body in encounters with ancestries and historical questions.

Heydrich's book
Brazil, 72', Clemiê Blaud
Bachiana / DGT Films
Marcelo Reis, a resident of Capão Redondo, claims to be Heydrich, an officer of Hitler. The film investigates the delusion stemming from the history of Nazism from the perspective of a mental health service user at a CAPS (Centro de Atenção Psicossocial) in São Paulo. The film intertwines documentary and fiction through a collective effort of mental health and cinema teams: an actor is trained by Marcelo to portray Heydrich in the fictional narrative; one team produces the costume; another writes the script; another investigates the origins of the delusion; and another scouts locations in Paranapiacaba, where Marcelo claims to have become Heydrich. The project aims to revive and update the theme of "Hitler 3rd World" by J. Agrippino de Paula, observing, with Foucault, that "madness is the theater of the world" and foreshadows social dystopias.
