Outra Margem

Opera with video instalation, 2017

Following the ENOA’s Orpheus’ workshop cycle , coached by Rui Horta and Gonçalo M. Tavares.
This opera illustrates the return of 35-year old, Lúcia, and her 45-year old sister Filomena to their home village after more than fifteen years away. Lúcia hopes that this trip will allow them to spend some tome on their own and help Filomena alleviate all the symptoms of schizophrenia which she has suffered from since her twenties.

The vídeo was used as a scenario, recreating what Filomena was seeing and at the same what she was feeling.
