Synopsis:
Based on political prisoners’ testimonies and letters filed in the National Archives of Brazil, this multimedia play casts a glance at women who were arrested and tortured during the Brazilian Military Regime.
In this solo performance by Carina Casuscelli sided by an inquisitor puppet, a woman finds archive boxes in a dark room. The archived documents are read and interpreted by the woman, with the support of video and slide projections evoking memories and flashes of one of the most tenebrous periods of Brazilian history.
