Olívio Tavares de Araujo

Documentary

Filmed between March and August 1970, the film presents the Catholic festival from its performative dimension. Residents of the region reveal a certain nostalgia for the spectacle, which, according to them, have been lost over time. It is in the search for a theatrical revival that the film operates, reactivating the historic city as a large open-air stage.
