00:01:30Music
00:02:00What is that?
00:02:13It's a chubá
00:02:14A chubá, a night tree
00:02:17Music
00:02:30Look, it's him!
00:02:37Who?
00:02:39He's always there fishing.
00:02:41Music
00:02:42Music
00:03:00Music
00:03:30The distress of being me and not being someone else.
00:03:40The distress of not being love.
00:03:42That one
00:03:43That a daughter gave you
00:03:44Married a young man
00:03:45And the night prepares itself and is anticipated.
00:03:48Object of love
00:03:50Attentive and beautiful
00:03:52The distress of not being the big island.
00:03:54What holds you back?
00:03:55And don't despair.
00:03:58The night like a beast
00:03:59It's approaching
00:04:01The distress of being water amidst the earth.
00:04:03To have a troubled face.
00:04:05Property
00:04:06And at the same time, multiple.
00:04:08Property
00:04:09Not knowing if he/she is absent
00:04:11Or is it waiting for you?
00:04:12The anguish of loving you, my love.
00:04:15If it moves you
00:04:17And since water is love
00:04:19Wanting to be land
00:04:21Congratulations
00:04:26I liked
00:04:29Did you like it?
00:04:31I liked
00:04:32A traquejo
00:04:34Luck
00:04:37The spirit
00:04:40And do you always talk like that?
00:04:42No no
00:04:43I'm just kidding.
00:04:45I really liked it.
00:04:48You are very good actresses.
00:04:52Have you two been together for a long time?
00:04:57We'll meet along the way.
00:04:58Amanda was delivering a rather unfunny monologue.
00:05:02Ah, Amanda
00:05:04Sure, Amanda
00:05:05Nice name
00:05:07Good actress too.
00:05:09And yours?
00:05:10Sonia
00:05:12I have some records in my room.
00:05:15These are my songs.
00:05:19Do you want to listen?
00:05:25Let's go to my room.
00:05:27You liked the scene, didn't you?
00:05:37The piece exposes us a little.
00:05:39Through crooked paths
00:05:41Don't you think so?
00:05:46Flame
00:05:46I found a man for the two of us.
00:05:51Amanda
00:05:54Come on, Amanda
00:05:58Amanda is still breastfeeding.
00:06:05He owes a son a little
00:06:07Go

00:06:35Amanda, she's hungry, huh?
00:07:02Let her nurse at your breast.
00:07:04Amanda, I'm all sweaty.
00:07:07Come give her a bath, come.
00:07:33Her name is Cristina.
00:07:50Cris, don't you like Cris?
00:07:55He doesn't like it, he likes Cris.
00:08:00He doesn't like Cris.
00:08:01He doesn't like Cris.
00:08:05He doesn't like Cris.
00:08:10He doesn't like Cris.
00:08:11He doesn't like Cris.
00:08:15He doesn't like Cris.
00:08:16He doesn't like Cris.
00:08:20Cris.
00:08:21Cris.
00:08:22Cris.
00:08:23Cris.
00:08:24Cris.
00:08:25Cris.
00:08:26Cris.
00:08:27Cris.
00:08:28Cris.
00:08:29Cris.
00:08:30Cris.
00:08:31Cris.
00:08:32Cris.
00:08:33Cris.
00:08:34Cris.
00:08:35Cris.
00:08:36Cris.
00:08:37Cris.
00:08:38Cris.
00:08:39Cris.
00:08:40Cris.
00:08:41Cris.
00:08:42Cris.
00:08:43Cris.
00:08:44Cris.
00:08:45Cris.
00:08:46Cris.
00:08:47Cris.
00:08:48Cris.
00:08:49Cris.
00:08:50Cris.
00:08:51Cris.
00:08:52Cris.
00:08:53Cris.
00:08:54Cris.
00:08:55Cris.
00:08:56Cris.
00:08:57Cris.
00:08:58Cris.
00:08:59Cris.
00:09:00The milk of your flesh, my fleeting desire.
00:09:06And this future time is about us, weaving the great web.
00:09:11Life is upon us, life pouring forth, cyclical, flowing.
00:09:23Get out, get out!
00:09:25This is shameless and it heals.
00:09:26Well, well, well, without shame, and it heals.
00:09:30Is there a scandal going on here?
00:09:33Is there a dissenting voice in the audience?
00:09:37Is there a gentleman?
00:09:39Ah, is there someone over there who disagrees with the sweet text spoken by these two young ladies present here?
00:09:45To me, that's bullshit.
00:09:49This is theater, gentlemen.
00:09:51The impending conflict.
00:09:54Not always.
00:09:56Let's come to an agreement.
00:09:58This is good for the theater.
00:10:00Say something stupid to the people and always be new.
00:10:07Ah, our mouth of wind.
00:10:09Blah, blah, blah.
00:10:11Mouth of the wind.
00:10:13Mouth of the wind.
00:10:15Let me see.
00:10:15Our seemingly empty, wind-filled mouth would represent the first moment of a comparative eschatology.
00:10:27Our wind turbine is actually two wind turbines.
00:10:35Mouth of nothing.
00:10:38Starting from nothing, we will arrive at infinite conclusions.
00:10:44Dear sir, after nothing, everything comes easily.
00:10:50Outside.
00:10:54Outside.
00:10:55Outside.
00:10:56They went crazy, we drove the population insane.
00:11:04Yes, crazy, my madness... let others take me for what was in it.
00:11:09If madness is what man is, then what a healthy beast!
00:11:12A delayed corpse that reproduces.
00:11:14Theater is the art of chance; the unpredictable is already in the script.
00:11:26But what is happening?
00:11:29It seems we've hit a nerve with this charming society.
00:11:36We kicked their balls, everyone loved it.
00:11:42A catharsis, we provoked a catharsis in these people.
00:11:49Isn't that our job?
00:11:53We unleashed the ghosts, the supernatural forces.
00:11:56Repressed hatreds, suppressed desires
00:12:00We split the audience.
00:12:03We drove the audience wild.
00:12:07How wonderful
00:12:11What a fine example you are setting!
00:12:14A bunch of bums trying to convince me they're doing theater.
00:12:18What kind of crappy theater is this that you put on?
00:12:21Mr. Delegate
00:12:23Couldn't we postpone the aesthetic discussion until later?
00:12:28What are we accused of?
00:12:30Indecent assault
00:12:32AND...
00:12:34And are we going to be here for very long?
00:12:37Enough time
00:12:39Enough
00:12:40Do you have food and clean clothes at least?
00:12:43Is the child yours?
00:12:49Did they forget, Paul?
00:12:50He has food and clothing.
00:12:56Enough
00:12:57He will let us know.
00:12:58Ladies and gentlemen, passing by, we decided to bring joy to this distinguished audience.
00:13:26and to tell a little bit of our life stories.
00:13:31We do theater.
00:13:34Do you know what theater is?
00:13:40The theater is like a mirror.
00:13:44He understands?
00:13:45We look at each other and see ourselves reflected, with a beautiful backdrop.
00:13:50Lights, colorful clothes, music.
00:13:53Everything as if it were life.
00:13:57It's life, reflected in the mirror.
00:14:00And you are our backdrop.
00:14:03It's life that's clumsy, that's what it is, and made up of pieces.
00:14:09Ladies and gentlemen,
00:14:12The Mbembe Artists Company presents the show entitled
00:14:15the story of the fragments of our lives
00:14:18And how we were prohibited from practicing our profession.
00:14:22With Amanda, Sonia, Santiago,
00:14:30This is me speaking, and little Cris, of course.
00:14:34The drumbeat can already be heard.
00:14:46It's time to laugh.
00:14:49It's time to cry, the show is about to begin.
00:14:54While they're setting up the scene back there,
00:14:56Allow me to introduce myself.
00:14:59I am the poet.
00:15:03I'm the one who creates the characters.
00:15:06I create the dialogues.
00:15:08Would you please shut up?
00:15:11You have to say, "The show is about to begin," and that's it.
00:15:15Yes sir.
00:15:16And you don't have the right to reveal our secrets?
00:15:20Yes sir.
00:15:22Am I not paying you very well?
00:15:25As for that, I have my doubts, sir.
00:15:26Shut up, or I'll come over there and break your face.
00:15:29Calm down, sir.
00:15:31No, sir.
00:15:33Say what needs to be said.
00:15:35So that the public knows what the truth is.
00:15:38Distinguished audience,
00:15:40Theatre is a very well-paid activity.
00:15:43and the most honorable of professions.
00:15:47And it can't be a bad example for anyone.
00:15:50And it can't be a bad example for anyone.
00:15:53And it can't be a mess, like our delegate said.
00:15:56And it's not a load of crap, as our delegate said.
00:15:59Very good.
00:16:01How much do I owe you?
00:16:02Five coins, sir.
00:16:04I'll give you one.
00:16:07And now, let's begin!
00:16:10Open the window, my dear comedy.
00:16:19Shall we get down to business?
00:16:21Wait a minute, my little poet.
00:16:23I'm still putting on my makeup.
00:16:24Man, what a tragedy.
00:16:26Are we waiting?
00:16:28I always go in last.
00:16:29Who's going to give me the cue?
00:16:31This time, we're going to improvise.
00:16:33What role will I play, my love?
00:16:34Your own.
00:16:36Are you going to tell my story?
00:16:37More or less.
00:16:38Oh, no.
00:16:40I don't want any drama.
00:16:41I don't want to see anyone crying in front of me.
00:16:43There is no danger.
00:16:45We will never be together on stage.
00:16:47Calm down, everyone.
00:16:48We're not going to fight.
00:16:49The audience is waiting.
00:16:51The show must go on.
00:16:53Come here, come.
00:17:02What are we going to do?
00:17:05For my Juliet?
00:17:09So as to.
00:17:11Come here.
00:17:13I need affection.
00:17:14Always running away.
00:17:33It's not that.
00:17:35I'm always on the move.
00:17:38Movement?
00:17:39Where to?
00:17:41I don't know, back and forth.
00:17:42You never know.
00:17:46They left me stranded there.
00:17:49No goodbyes.
00:17:51Why say goodbye?
00:17:52What difference does it make?
00:17:55In your shitty world,
00:17:57What difference does it make?
00:17:58It's not a fragrant world.
00:18:01But it's the world we live in.
00:18:04I'm fed up with this life.
00:18:07That's what we do.
00:18:08Many people call it art.
00:18:14This has a virtue.
00:18:17Redemption.
00:18:19Great drug.
00:18:23It could be a tragedy.
00:18:25If it is high,
00:18:26Tragedy is better.
00:18:30It could also be
00:18:31The laughter of the strong man.
00:18:35Where did you get that from?
00:18:39Someone wrote.
00:18:42He walks through the sordid streets.
00:18:44of the fleet.
00:18:47A man
00:18:47which is not sordid.
00:18:51Who is this man?
00:18:52He is young.
00:18:55And he is poor.
00:18:57Is he an ordinary man?
00:19:00Or I wouldn't be able to walk.
00:19:01with ordinary people?
00:19:02He doesn't accept it.
00:19:06dishonest money
00:19:07From no one.
00:19:09And it doesn't accept it either.
00:19:10insolence
00:19:11from no one.
00:19:14He speaks
00:19:15like a person
00:19:17of your age.
00:19:20It's rough.
00:19:22He has a sense of the grotesque.
00:19:24But he is witty.
00:19:28And he speaks
00:19:30with utter contempt
00:19:33because of meanness
00:19:34alien.
00:19:36Nice profile.
00:19:39And your story?
00:19:42Your story
00:19:44It's an adventure.
00:19:48to search
00:19:49a hidden truth.
00:19:50wouldn't it be
00:19:54an adventure
00:19:55if it did not occur
00:19:56with a man
00:19:56carved
00:19:57for the adventure.
00:20:00If everyone
00:20:00were like him
00:20:02this world
00:20:04It would be more beautiful.
00:20:08But no
00:20:09interesting
00:20:10to the point
00:20:11of not wanting
00:20:12to live in it.
00:20:14I would like
00:20:14to love this man.
00:20:16I would like
00:20:17to meet him.
00:20:17Amen.
00:20:47Bye, bye.
00:21:17Bye, bye.
00:21:47Bye, bye.
00:22:17Bye, bye.
00:22:47Bye, bye.
00:23:17Goodbye.
00:23:47Do you really know how to operate the machine?
00:24:10And there's one other thing I know how to do, besides typing.
00:24:18I was the typing champion in Hamburg.
00:24:23You hit it too fast, want to see?
00:24:27No, it's not necessary.
00:24:29I believe.
00:24:31What else do you need to do there?
00:24:34The job is easy.
00:24:37Don't worry.
00:24:39You'll learn soon.
00:24:44That's our job.
00:24:47Sell these cans.
00:24:48Take it.
00:24:52Light.
00:24:55It cost.
00:24:56You're doing badly.
00:24:59He needs treatment.
00:25:02Let's find a little house to live in.
00:25:04Let's go.
00:25:23Amen.
00:25:53Excuse me.
00:26:16Come in.
00:26:16Come in.
00:26:16Do you know this address?
00:26:25This is the right place.
00:26:27Who do you want to speak to?
00:26:29With my uncle, Alexandre.
00:26:32I work for him, my boss.
00:26:35Sit there and wait.
00:26:37He won't be long.
00:26:46He won't be long.
00:27:16I take you as my lawful wedded wife and promise to be faithful to you in joy and in sorrow, in poverty and in wealth, in sickness and in health, loving and respecting you all the days of my life.
00:27:40I take you as my wife and promise to be faithful to you in joy and in sorrow, in wealth and in poverty, in health and in sickness.
00:27:53Loving you, and loving you, and loving you, and respecting you for all the days of my life.
00:28:00God bless your love.
00:28:04Through this sacrament, what God has joined together, let no man separate.
00:28:10Amen.
00:28:15Please accept these rings as proof of my love and faithfulness.
00:28:24Accept this ring as proof of my love and loyalty.
00:28:33In the name of Holy Mother Church, I pronounce you husband and wife.
00:28:41You may kiss the bride.
00:28:42I don't understand.
00:29:06And you?
00:29:06What are you doing here?
00:29:12I came to collect a debt from my uncle.
00:29:16I promised my mother when she died.
00:29:18She told me.
00:29:20Daughter, don't ask for anything.
00:29:22Demand that he pay you back everything he stole from your father.
00:29:26It's easy to see.
00:29:29You notice it in the smallest gestures.
00:29:33You're as tense as a waiting snake.
00:29:37It's time to strike.
00:29:41Relax.
00:29:42Come here.
00:29:49What's the problem?
00:29:51Children.
00:29:53They don't see.
00:29:55Has your wife seen this?
00:29:56He had all the tests done.
00:29:59It seems to be going well.
00:30:00Let's do a semen analysis.
00:30:02Please collect the material in this small jar.
00:30:04Is that you there?
00:30:10What are you doing?
00:30:15Say something.
00:30:18Tell me.
00:30:18What happened at the doctor's?
00:30:25Don't play dead.
00:30:26Say something.
00:30:27Speak, for God's sake.
00:30:31What's going on there?
00:30:33It doesn't bother me anymore.
00:30:36What did you say?
00:30:39God exists.
00:30:41Damn.
00:30:42What do you have?
00:30:52Empty.
00:30:55I feel like an empty sack.
00:30:59Nothing inside.
00:31:01Not even the entrails.
00:31:04You don't get attached to anything.
00:31:05I don't know why he stays with me.
00:31:12Marriage is inert.
00:31:17But getting married is good.
00:31:21It is good.
00:31:23Don't you think so?
00:31:24I like your uncle.
00:31:31He's a good guy.
00:31:35AND.
00:31:39Hello.
00:31:40And there?
00:31:41What is the result?
00:31:42There are not enough sperm to fertilize the egg in your spermatic court.
00:31:46Doctor.
00:31:47Let's drop that rhetoric.
00:31:49Speak clearly.
00:31:50It's not possible to procreate.
00:31:51It's not possible to procreate.
00:32:18Let's go.
00:32:19We are gathered here.
00:32:37To order the body of Alexandre da Silva Mar
00:32:41May he rest in peace.
00:32:45In the name of the Father
00:32:46Of the Son and the Holy Spirit
00:32:49Amen
00:32:51It saw?
00:33:05You can't have everything.
00:33:07I am really sorry
00:33:09Don't complain.
00:33:11I am sad.
00:33:14But relieved
00:33:15I got rid of that promise.
00:33:18Music
00:33:20Music
00:33:21Music
00:33:25Why?
00:33:53I unwrapped myself
00:33:55I ended up like this
00:33:55This means there isn't a long history of poverty in the family.
00:34:02No
00:34:03I am the only one responsible.
00:34:05And the family?
00:34:08Please
00:34:09Today only
00:34:11I need a place to land, just for today.
00:34:14It is fine
00:34:18The dormitory is over there.
00:34:21Bed 17
00:34:23You can go.
00:34:24Oh
00:34:2620m
00:34:262m
00:34:292 min
00:34:301 min
00:34:332 min
00:34:351 min
00:34:371 min
00:34:391 min
00:34:40Bye, bye.
00:35:10Bye, bye.
00:35:40Bye, bye.
00:36:10Bye, bye.
00:36:40Bye, bye.
00:37:10Goodbye.
00:37:40Get out of the way, get out.
00:37:42And the boy, nothing.
00:37:45So, I don't know what got into my head.
00:37:50I started the car and ran over the boy, who died instantly, crushed by the rear tires.
00:38:01My son, I crushed the boy.
00:38:13After that, I let myself be arrested, I let myself be committed to a forensic psychiatric hospital.
00:38:29I, who had traveled half the world conducting orchestras, abandoned it all.
00:38:40Everyone abandoned me.
00:38:41And at the end of my life, I ended up here.
00:38:48Do you understand?
00:38:50Well, Carlos, this is the newcomer.
00:39:19What is your name?
00:39:21I am John Doe.
00:39:24What does he do?
00:39:26I don't know, ask him.
00:39:28What do you do?
00:39:30Currently, I buy ready-made.
00:39:33She wants to know what you can do.
00:39:35Ah, I know how to tell stories.
00:39:38So tell me, so tell me.
00:39:40What?
00:39:40So tell me.
00:39:41Do you want it?
00:39:42Do you want me to tell you a story?
00:39:46Silence!
00:39:47Because I'm going to tell the story of how I was conceived.
00:39:53I remember, between me and my conception, there is a barrier, a kind of opaque glass,
00:40:06so that the outline of things cannot be clearly distinguished.
00:40:11Suddenly, a convulsion erupts, and I see restless, bright, very bright particles all around me amidst total darkness.
00:40:27So, you see, gentlemen, suddenly, a terrible incarnation.
00:40:40It is terrible, gentlemen, to see matter, after all, settling into a state of apparent repose.
00:40:50She had no reason to come, but now she's there, trapped in a mold.
00:41:03Look at me, gentlemen, and see the result of all this.
00:41:10Me, in a body of flesh and blood.
00:41:15Where did you come from?
00:41:17From a man?
00:41:18What the hell are you?
00:41:19Nonsense, he's not from this world.
00:41:23Don't be afraid, my sister, I belong to this world.
00:41:27What is your name?
00:41:28Vicente.
00:41:30What do you do?
00:41:31Ice cream vendor.
00:41:32Ice cream vendor.
00:41:33Jesus.
00:41:34Jesus?
00:41:35AND.
00:41:36Carpenter.
00:41:37Carpenter.
00:41:37You?
00:41:38Tião, electrician.
00:41:39Tião, electrician.
00:41:41You?
00:41:42John, the house painter.
00:41:43John, the house painter.
00:41:45Sebastião, musician.
00:41:47Sebastião, musician.
00:41:48Musician.
00:41:49José, the carpenter.
00:41:51José, the carpenter.
00:41:52Ari, the sander.
00:41:54I need a seamstress and a hairdresser.
00:41:57We are here.
00:41:59The seamstress, what's her name?
00:42:00Helena.
00:42:01Helena.
00:42:02And the hairdresser?
00:42:03Luma.
00:42:04Luma.
00:42:05Lucas, what's that over there?
00:42:07It's our band.
00:42:09What happened to her?
00:42:11It's stopped.
00:42:12Let's resurrect the band.
00:42:14You take care of it.
00:42:15So what are we going to do?
00:42:17We're going to do theater.
00:42:20Luma.
00:42:21One pity.
00:42:24Thanks.
00:42:26Admir, a pity for me.
00:42:30Yes, thank you.
00:42:31Sebastian.
00:42:32Now we're going to play the C major scale.
00:42:39Are you following us?
00:42:40It is good?
00:42:41Go.
00:42:42Do.
00:42:43Re.
00:42:44I.
00:42:45It was once a bloody battle that left cities and villages in ruins.
00:42:58The woman lost her husband, the sister lost her brother, and the son searches among the ashes for his father and mother.
00:43:10Info.
00:43:12No letters arrive, no news arrives, but the news spreads by word of mouth.
00:43:19From one day, the boys organized themselves into a crusade.
00:43:27Starving and freezing, they walk and join other boys in the villages they pass through.
00:43:41At the front goes the boy, the leader who organized the crusade.
00:43:46And in the back, an 11-year-old girl, taking care of her brother, who can barely walk.
00:44:01Also traveling with them was a sad and weak boy who always lagged behind.
00:44:09And also a musician, who found a drum, but without prestige, because he couldn't play it so as not to give himself away.
00:44:18And it also went inside a dog, initially, to be eaten.
00:44:22But there hasn't been the courage to kill him yet.
00:44:27One fine day, they met another group of boys.
00:44:31And a war almost broke out.
00:44:34But seeing how absurd it was, they made a truce.
00:44:38There was still a small battle to be had around a hut.
00:44:41But one side ran out of food.
00:44:45And the enemy, knowing this, sent a sack of potatoes.
00:44:50Because you can't fight if you haven't eaten anything.
00:44:55After that, they continued walking together.
00:45:02Because it's better to walk together than apart.
00:45:05There was also a trial, one day, by candlelight.
00:45:13And the judge was convicted after a difficult hearing.
00:45:21There was also a burial for the weak boy.
00:45:27who was carried on the shoulders of his stronger companions.
00:45:35Hold God's hand and go.
00:45:44Hold on to God's hand.
00:45:50Hold on to God's hand.
00:45:56Hold on to God's hand.
00:46:01There was still faith and hope.
00:46:05Despite lacking meat, bread, and any sense of direction.
00:46:13Of course, there were posters hanging at the gas stations.
00:46:17But they shouldn't be read.
00:46:19For whoever trusts...
00:46:22They could be reversed.
00:46:23They gather around the leader because they trust him.
00:46:31And they point towards the white horizon, in any direction.
00:46:36Over there.
00:46:37It must be around there.
00:46:42Over there.
00:46:44A fire.
00:46:46A fire.
00:46:46They saw.
00:46:48But they don't approach out of fear.
00:46:52Come cross paths with a battalion of soldiers as well.
00:46:58I close my eyes.
00:47:01And I see that they are moving.
00:47:03From a destroyed village...
00:47:07...to a village in ruins.
00:47:08Under a cold wind.
00:47:14Frozen.
00:47:16Hungry.
00:47:19They are walking.
00:47:22They walk.
00:47:24They just want a piece of land to live on.
00:47:28Far from the roar of the cannons.
00:47:31And about the fires.
00:47:38That morning...
00:47:40...the soldiers killed a dog...
00:47:42...with a sign around his neck.
00:47:46The peasants found him.
00:47:49"Help," the sign read.
00:47:52We are lost.
00:47:54We are 50.
00:47:56Don't kill that dog.
00:47:59Only they know where we are.
00:48:02If they kill him...
00:48:03...our hope will die with him.
00:48:06The voice onê...
00:48:14...hey, it's moving...
00:48:19...and they foresaw...
00:48:24...atê indité...
00:48:29...atê indité...
00:48:36...dividete...
00:48:39...if it's malicious...
00:48:47Listening.
00:48:49I need to talk to you at the clinic.
00:48:50If it's malicious...
00:48:54...I...
00:48:56...
00:48:57...
00:48:59...
00:49:00...
00:49:01...
00:49:02...
00:49:03...
00:49:04...
00:49:08She cries and screams all the time.
00:49:10Could you give us a hand?
00:49:12Try to communicate with her, try.
00:49:13How did she end up here?
00:49:14Social assistance.
00:49:16measurements.
00:49:21AND...
00:49:32...
00:49:35Like this...
00:49:36That's all.
00:49:50It disappeared
00:49:52They say she may have died there.
00:49:57In the northern regions
00:49:58During the last earthquake that hit there
00:50:01I don't know
00:50:06What I know is that everything was going well.
00:50:08And suddenly she disappeared.
00:50:10I came home from school and she wasn't there anymore.
00:50:14What was she like?
00:50:18Beautiful
00:50:19Completely crazy, it's indescribable.
00:50:22What was she doing?
00:50:25Theater
00:50:26She was an actress.
00:50:27A very good actress indeed.
00:50:29I used to wander around.
00:50:32And what's her name?
00:50:34Amanda
00:50:36Amanda
00:50:37You said Amanda
00:50:40Did you hear?
00:50:42You are pale
00:50:45The Palio is yours.
00:50:46And you too
00:50:48You seem transparent.
00:50:50So you're Cris.
00:50:52I did not know
00:50:54You are the Cris I held in my arms.
00:50:57I should have had a cell phone for four or five months.
00:50:59I don't believe
00:51:01It's not possible.
00:51:03It's not possible.
00:51:03How it was?
00:51:07The exchange happened here.
00:51:09I met you
00:51:11We stayed together for two weeks.
00:51:14Me and Amanda
00:51:15Then she left without saying goodbye.
00:51:19It disappeared
00:51:20I never saw her again.
00:51:21She's always been like that.
00:51:23My mom
00:51:24I never met my father.
00:51:28When I was born
00:51:31They said he had won.
00:51:33A scholarship
00:51:34To Belgium
00:51:35We never heard from him again.
00:51:39My mother used to say I looked just like him.
00:51:43Would you do me a favor?
00:51:50Get me some lipstick.
00:51:52We're going to play at the city festival.
00:51:55Very good
00:51:56We're leaving early tomorrow.
00:51:59Seven o'clock
00:51:59What time will we be back?
00:52:02Midday
00:52:03The sun is very hot.
00:52:05Couldn't you come down earlier?
00:52:07No, you can't.
00:52:08Why can't we?
00:52:10Why not?
00:52:11Well, then I'm not going.
00:52:12Ready
00:52:12So it won't happen.
00:52:13So I'm not going, I'm not going.
00:52:16And you?
00:52:17How are you?
00:52:18I woke up
00:52:23In the morning I stretched.
00:52:25Then I asked myself
00:52:27Why do you do that?
00:52:29It is good
00:52:29They told me that stretching
00:52:31It's good for the muscles.
00:52:34Stretch
00:52:35There
00:52:37It's good for exercising.
00:52:39But
00:52:40Why do gymnastics?
00:52:44To strengthen my muscles
00:52:45I thought
00:52:48But
00:52:49Why strengthen my muscles?
00:52:55To defeat my enemies
00:52:57There
00:52:59I said to myself
00:53:01Why defeat my enemies?
00:53:06Because they told me
00:53:08That they might leave me without food.
00:53:09Good
00:53:12Then
00:53:12I woke up in the morning.
00:53:14I stretched.
00:53:17To do gymnastics
00:53:19Doing gymnastics
00:53:21To strengthen my muscles
00:53:24Strengthen my muscles
00:53:27To defeat my enemies
00:53:30To defeat my enemies.
00:53:32So that we don't go hungry.
00:53:34Then I asked myself
00:53:36Why eat?
00:53:39Gray
00:53:44Gray
00:53:44Gray
00:53:46Gray
00:53:58Gray
00:53:59Gray
00:54:08Gray
00:54:12Do you want to follow in Amanda's footsteps?
00:54:18When I walked through the streets after my mother's death,
00:54:25when I was wandering around aimlessly,
00:54:30Sometimes I would do what I was pretending to be.
00:54:34Do you understand?
00:54:37Just look.
00:54:37I was looking for a higher place.
00:54:43It was an empty box left behind at the fair.
00:54:47If it were a park bench.
00:54:50Anything.
00:54:53So, I constructed very subtle gestures.
00:54:59Eyes.
00:55:01Mouth.
00:55:03My facial expression.
00:55:04He invented lines.
00:55:08that they don't come out through the lips, no.
00:55:14Because I didn't want them to notice that I was acting.
00:55:21Because if they noticed...
00:55:22My God, they would put me in a mental hospital and I didn't want to go.
00:55:32I even thought that if it were a nursing home like this one,
00:55:35where all you have to do is eat and sleep,
00:55:37without a straitjacket,
00:55:39electronics, things like that,
00:55:41It could have been done, actually.
00:55:42But I didn't want asylum either.
00:55:48I preferred to stay in the streets.
00:55:51Making fire with the leftover trash I found.
00:55:55Just to keep looking.
00:55:58Like once.
00:55:59I don't want to say anything more.
00:56:09You know everything, don't you?
00:56:12Do you know why I ended up here?
00:56:13It was because I picked up a razor blade from the trash.
00:56:19and I passed it on in my language
00:56:21to see if she would stop talking.
00:56:23I wasn't talking to anyone.
00:56:27But I was talking to myself.
00:56:30I was talking to myself.
00:56:32And it was like that all the time.
00:56:35And I couldn't take it anymore.
00:56:37I retrieved the razor blade from the trash.
00:56:46And I passed it in my own language.
00:56:56Because ever since my mother disappeared,
00:57:00since then,
00:57:01I can't stop hearing my own voice anymore.
00:57:07So I retrieved the razor blade from the trash.
00:57:13But an old woman saw me running a razor blade across my tongue.
00:57:17He called a guard.
00:57:18Other guards arrived.
00:57:20Lots of people around.
00:57:22And I refused to speak.
00:57:28In the language itself,
00:57:29I only had a slight pain.
00:57:34A little bit of blood
00:57:35that was dripping from the corner of my mouth.
00:57:42Then came the black minibus.
00:57:46And suddenly I was here.
00:57:49Inside this house.
00:57:51Let's get out of here.
00:57:59One morning,
00:58:01very close,
00:58:04You will be with me in paradise.
00:58:05And there
00:58:18And there
00:58:18Amen.
00:58:48Amen.
00:59:18Amen.
00:59:48Amen.
01:00:18That's not possible.
01:00:20How many years.
01:00:24Where have you been?
01:00:26Just wandering around.
01:00:28This is Cris.
01:00:30A beautiful promise.
01:00:36Do you already have a place to stay?
01:00:38No, we just arrived.
01:00:40They stay at my house.
01:00:42No luggage.
01:00:44No past.
01:00:48Do you remember that night in New York?
01:00:52What a nasty fight, my brother.
01:00:54We had drunk some Bloody Marys.
01:00:58Remember when we went up to the room?
01:01:02There was a twisted section in the air.
01:01:04A pent-up hatred that finally burst forth in the bedroom.
01:01:08We still unleash the most terrible insults.
01:01:10We built walls against each other.
01:01:12I remember.
01:01:16I remember.
01:01:18I remember that too.
01:01:20From that cheap little hotel in Washington.
01:01:22You called your dying mother in Dallas.
01:01:24I remember.
01:01:26I got on a plane.
01:01:28Two days later, she died.
01:01:30And I stayed at the small hotel.
01:01:32Waiting to continue the journey.
01:01:34I picked up the small box containing the ashes.
01:01:38And I sent it to the navy.
01:01:40We did not continue the journey.
01:01:42When we return, we bury the ashes.
01:01:46I remember.
01:01:50Do you remember that day I followed you?
01:01:56Did you follow me?
01:01:58I followed you for hours and hours.
01:02:00You were walking aimlessly.
01:02:02And I called you.
01:02:04You turned around, startled and somewhat embarrassed, and said hi.
01:02:08No.
01:02:10No.
01:02:11I don't remember.
01:02:12That night, you said.
01:02:14No.
01:02:15I'm not staying.
01:02:17I'm going to step away from the theater.
01:02:20From there, I went twenty years without seeing you.
01:02:25It was better this way.
01:02:28Now you know we're ready.
01:02:32We don't need any more...
01:02:35to assess, to suspend, to premeditate.
01:02:41Ah, the clouds parted.
01:02:43The sun is shining again.
01:02:45The light.
01:02:46What is the purpose of light?
01:02:48Do we not live by light?
01:02:50The real actors are those free of pretension.
01:02:57Those who remain in refuges, far from lines, volumes, and colors.
01:03:07True actors thrive in absence.
01:03:12And so they become more succulent, appetizing, and nutritious, because they are separated from the jungle of the visual universe.
01:03:27Far from the audiences, then?
01:03:30No.
01:03:32Far from these ready-made and finished forms.
01:03:41From this exhibition.
01:03:42Which is...
01:03:44The excrescence of things.
01:03:48Partner.
01:03:49Nothing's changed, right?
01:03:50He likes?
01:03:51This is your face.
01:03:52This theater is falling apart.
01:03:53This is just a shell.
01:03:54The real theater is what happens here.
01:03:56This is what happens on top of those planks.
01:04:00That's just like you.
01:04:01That's just like you.
01:04:02That's just like you.
01:04:03This is what happens on top of those planks.
01:04:05One...
01:04:07One...
01:04:08This is what happens here.
01:04:09This theater is falling apart.
01:04:10This theater is falling apart.
01:04:11AND.
01:04:12What if the feather is without a shell?
01:04:13The real theater is what happens here.
01:04:15This is what happens on top of those planks.
01:04:18Take your duck away.
01:04:34Come on, come here.
01:04:37Take care of your space.
01:04:40Take control of this stage.
01:04:43Walk.
01:04:45Run.
01:04:48Run, jump, kick.
01:04:52It's yours.
01:04:56I...
01:04:58I feel strange in his presence.
01:05:04You'll get used to it soon enough.
01:05:07Cris, pay attention.
01:05:10You are creating a character.
01:05:13You are grieving.
01:05:14But you don't cover your face or body in mourning for the death of your lover or your husband, any living being.
01:05:29No.
01:05:30You are mourning the miseries of all humanity.
01:05:34And you believe, with hatred and despair, in the possibility of being heard.
01:05:41You cover your face with this veil of mourning, as if you were covering your entire body.
01:05:49You drape yourself in mourning clothes to express your outrage.
01:05:53And that.
01:05:59Is that so.
01:06:01Embody the character.
01:06:03I don't want a metamorphosis.
01:06:06The actor never quite manages to fully transform into the character.
01:06:11Try to embody the behavior of this imaginary woman, but don't confuse yourself with her.
01:06:18You are an actress.
01:06:22See if you can discover an outward expression for the character's emotions.
01:06:27An action that reveals your inner self.
01:06:32Emotion should be expressed outwardly.
01:06:37It must become independent so that it can be treated with dignity.
01:06:40Have you driven before?
01:06:44No.
01:06:45But I worked very hard.
01:06:49I've met many directors.
01:06:51Masters.
01:06:54Your audience will be there.
01:06:58There was a time when a sort of imaginary line was created.
01:07:05A fourth wall separating the stage from the audience.
01:07:08As if we could exist without our audience.
01:07:13Our dramas took place inside a glass dome.
01:07:17They created a psychological, intimate theater, viewed through a keyhole.
01:07:23That doesn't exist anymore.
01:07:26We will always be in front of our audience.
01:07:29I see the theater as a square full of people.
01:07:35Men, women, children.
01:07:38The only thing we have to do is use gesture and words to present it rehearsed, ready and finished.
01:07:48I liked.
01:07:50What else?
01:07:51You have to create real people on stage, flesh and blood.
01:07:56You have to make the character so obvious, so difficult to imagine otherwise, that the viewer will be forced to accept what you are presenting to them.
01:08:06That's your obligation.
01:08:07Cris, let's go.
01:08:11Stay in position.
01:08:14Give your text.
01:08:17You will say that it is pure nonsense.
01:08:20It's foolish to complain about our fate and other things in this bewildered land where destiny has forgotten us.
01:08:28Wait.
01:08:30You speak to the audience, but you shouldn't look at them.
01:08:34Look a little higher, as if you were looking at the sky, the sea, or outer space.
01:08:42Try it.
01:08:48You will say that this is pure foolishness on my part.
01:08:50It's foolish to complain about our fate and other things in this bewildered land where destiny has forgotten us.
01:09:02The truth is, it takes work to get used to hunger.
01:09:06And even if they say that hunger shared by all affects only a few, the truth is that you are all dying.
01:09:15And we don't even have a place to fall dead.
01:09:18And it seems things are getting worse and worse.
01:09:20And there's no such thing as ending the matter with a slap on the wrist.
01:09:24None of that.
01:09:26Since the world began, we've walked around with our belly buttons stuck to our backs.
01:09:30Trying to grasp the wind with their own fingernails.
01:09:34The world is full of people like us.
01:09:37From many people like us.
01:09:40And someone has to listen to us.
01:09:45Someone, and others as well.
01:09:46Even if our screams burst their eardrums.
01:09:50No.
01:09:52No.
01:09:53We are neither revolting nor begging for alms from the moon.
01:09:59No.
01:10:00We're not in a hurry to find our way.
01:10:04We're not going to run for the hills every time the dogs bark at us.
01:10:07Someone has to listen to us.
01:10:13When we stop grunting like a swarm of wasps.
01:10:18Or we could turn into a hurricane's tail.
01:10:22Or we will scatter across the earth like lightning, destroying the dead.
01:10:27Then perhaps the remedy will reach us all.
01:10:33No.
01:10:34No.
01:10:35No.
01:10:35I liked this apartment here.
01:11:05Cris, my father, how are you? Everything's fine, sir, I'm doing well. Was Cris always this beautiful little girl? Always. You look pale?
01:11:32My father, my father, you and your care
01:11:38It's good cooking.
01:11:44I feel like I already know you.
01:11:52Could it be
01:11:54It makes me feel good to see you two together.
01:11:58Whenever you touch each other
01:12:00I feel an unmistakable current passing through me.
01:12:04Tremor
01:12:06Pure emotion
01:12:08I feel
01:12:10It will work out.
01:12:12You were an actor.
01:12:18Until about 20 years ago
01:12:20AND
01:12:22And why did you leave your career during that time?
01:12:26I started raising chickens.
01:12:30Chickens?
01:12:32Yes, chickens.
01:12:33For those who like chickens
01:12:34And do you like chickens?
01:12:36I like
01:12:37And you killed the chickens yourself?
01:12:39AND
01:12:40To sell or to eat?
01:12:42To eat
01:12:44To eat
01:12:46I grab their necks
01:12:48I was taking it
01:12:49It moved like this
01:12:50At my best performance
01:12:52AND
01:12:54AND
01:12:56What is your usual leisure activity today?
01:12:58It's not even a beach.
01:13:00How are you?
01:13:02Good
01:13:04Tell us a little about your story.
01:13:06My mother died months after I was born.
01:13:08And my father raised me alone.
01:13:10He would take me to the theater and leave me sleeping in the dressing rooms.
01:13:12We took many trips together.
01:13:14I'm always with him.
01:13:15For coherent cities
01:13:17Tell us a little about your story.
01:13:25My mother died months after I was born, and my father raised me alone.
01:13:31He would take me to the theater and leave me sleeping in the dressing rooms.
01:13:35We took many trips together.
01:13:38I was always with him, through dusty cities.
01:13:42He said he went on stage afraid of hearing me cry.
01:13:45I remember one time I was on stage playing the role of a red-bearded guy when I heard crying in the dressing room.
01:13:55Then I started sweating, I didn't know what to do.
01:13:58When I left the stage for a few seconds, I got to the dressing room and she was already asleep.
01:14:03I remember one time, I had...
01:14:07I was seven years old.
01:14:10And we arrived at an Indian village.
01:14:13My father will present the Christmas play.
01:14:17It was very funny.
01:14:20Because the baby Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, all of whom are people, were animals in the play.
01:14:28AND!
01:14:30The baby Jesus was a little calf.
01:14:33Maria, the cow.
01:14:35And the Saint Joseph statue that my father used to make was of the ox.
01:14:37Everything was backwards.
01:14:40The animals were the real people, and the humans were just extras.
01:14:48The Indians understood everything.
01:14:51I remember that on one of those trips to the countryside,
01:14:55She strayed from me.
01:14:58She didn't always win the show.
01:15:00When I arrived at the hotel, she had disappeared.
01:15:04I called the police, the hospitals, nothing.
01:15:11I had a terrible night.
01:15:13There was a moment when I almost hit my head against the wall.
01:15:17Around five or six in the morning, she shows up.
01:15:19Wet from head to toe.
01:15:21I had fallen into the river that was near the main street.
01:15:26I was soaked with river water and it humiliated me.
01:15:30I didn't want to go back to the hotel before my clothes were dry.
01:15:34But the clothes stuck to my body and wouldn't dry.
01:15:38So, I decided to return to the hotel on my own.
01:15:44Because that was the only way I found to go back.
01:15:46I started making an effort.
01:15:50to get out of myself
01:15:52and to see from the outside another girl who wasn't me.
01:15:57That lessened my shame.
01:16:01It was another girl who had fallen into the river, it wasn't me.
01:16:05And when I returned to the hotel
01:16:07and my father kissed me,
01:16:10I swear to you,
01:16:14I was so disconnected from myself.
01:16:16Looking at me from so far away
01:16:18that I didn't feel my father's arm.
01:16:23I saw that he kissed me.
01:16:25But no one felt the heat on my face.
01:16:29This is so true that I still remember it to this day.
01:16:33That at the moment my father kissed me,
01:16:36I found myself caressing my own face.
01:16:39As if she hadn't known what affection was for a long time,
01:16:42of affection and kisses.
01:16:44So, I was left in doubt.
01:16:48if the moisture on my face
01:16:51It was river water.
01:16:54Or maybe I was sweating.
01:16:56Cris?
01:17:01Huh?
01:17:02Did you enjoy yesterday's show?
01:17:10Hey, Cris?
01:17:11Did you enjoy yesterday's show?
01:17:15Yesterday was a good show.
01:17:17He knows,
01:17:26Starting tomorrow, I will be living with him.
01:17:30Who?
01:17:33With the guy you met yesterday.
01:17:36That one won't get through.
01:17:37Don't be sad.
01:17:43No, don't be sad.
01:17:49Is it going?
01:17:50I am.
01:17:52Where to?
01:17:55I still don't know.
01:17:58And Cris?
01:17:59She doesn't need me anymore.
01:18:02She will walk alone.
01:18:04She's already an actress.
01:18:05There.
01:18:33Who are you?
01:18:34You're going to talk, right?
01:18:44Your name, huh?
01:18:47Well, aren't you going to say anything?
01:18:53There, there, look.
01:18:56You who closed here, there, you're a agouti.
01:19:02Oh, boy.
01:19:04You're going to tell me, "Oh, I know, I know."
01:19:08You came from one of those sewer drains.
01:19:12And now you don't know how to live, do you?
01:19:14Right? Right?
01:19:20You're not going to talk to me, you're not going to say anything?
01:19:22Aren't you going to tell me who your father is, who your mother is?
01:19:24You won't know who I am?
01:19:27What if I'm a bad man?
01:19:28Huh?
01:19:28So, speak up!
01:19:45He speaks!
01:19:46He speaks!
01:19:46He speaks!
01:19:46Ah!
01:19:47Ah!
01:19:48Ah!
01:19:49Ah!
01:19:50Ah!
01:19:50Ah!
01:19:51Ah!
01:19:52Ah!
01:19:52Oh me...
01:19:54Ah!
01:19:54What is that?
01:20:24Welcome, I'm Pedro Armada.
01:20:54Friends, friends, the time has come.
