January 21st 2016, 20h, Mário de Andrade Library, São Paulo is the première of deCapitu, an audiovisual work created together with filmmaker Alexandre Charro, featuring actresses Liliana Junqueira and Melany Kern.
This audiovisual project started in 2013 as a commission from NME for the NMElança label. It explores elements of the novel Dom Casmurro by Brazilian writer Machado de Assis via an experimental and contemporary language, resulting from a long process initiated in 2010. I started experimenting the first vocal scores with Liliana and Melany as soundtrack studies for the theatrical play Capitu Desterrada, by the group Sociedade Baderna de Teatro e Outros Atentados, directed by Pedro Mantovani. In 2011, these scores were assembled in an autonomous work for two actresses and quadraphonic electronic sounds as a commission for the festival Conexões Sonoras 2, organized by Ibrasotope. The partnership with Alexandre Charro was established in 2013 and we started to work out the performatic and audiovisual material until it reached its present form.
Being 40 minutes long and subdividen in six chapters plus an electroacoustic intermezzo, this movies does not present the romantic misfortune Bento and Capitolina. It rather confronts us with a voice that has been silenced for more than one century by a suspect narrator, whose sweet talking been making us accomplices of a narrative construction of jealousy that is close to paranoid perversion. In its sound and image conceptios, deCapitu avoids any accusatory attitude as it takes into account the concretude of punishment inflicted to the female character in the novel: with no rights of defence or appelation Capitu finishes the romance in exhile, dead and buried in Switzerland, being of less importance the fact that the betrayal accusations made by the narrator remain fanciful and with no evidence. deCapitu chooses to embodie the voice of this character that struggles to overcome the only thing she knows for sure: that her defeat is implicit in the game's rules.
