Phantasmagoric Spectacle
video sequence (monologue and body performance) + making of with actress Danee Amorim

Alone on stage, actress Danee Amorim embodies and voices a speech by Prospero, the Shakespearean character from ‘The Tempest’. In an unexpected and radical approach to the reality of Cracolândia’s territory, Amorim’s performance makes the text resonate as a prophecy of what must be destroyed for new paths to be forged. Amidst dreams, ghosts, and restless spirits, Danee Amorim calls us to reflect on systems of oppression and to imagine other possible futures.
