film<\/strong><\/p>\n George Berkeley’s theory of immaterialism tells us that people and objects only exist if they are observed. This hypothesis is said to have influenced Samuel Beckett’s only screenplay, Film. Without sound or words, this short film premiered in Venice in 1965. The camera follows the figure of Buster Keaton, almost always on his back, as he tries to hide and escape everything and everyone who might be watching him until he reaches a ruined house, where he tries to destroy his reflection in the mirror. Film’s dramatic and poetic atmosphere serves as inspiration for this performance. Focusing on the body and its movement, Bruno Bravo explores themes such as self-awareness, reflection, illusion, identity, sound, silence, light and shadow.<\/p>\n promoted by arte total<\/strong><\/p>\n creation<\/strong> performers<\/strong> music<\/strong> artistic direction<\/strong> support<\/strong> portuguese republic \u2013 culture \/ directorate-general for the arts. rtcp \u2013 network of portuguese theatres and cinemas<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Contrapeso is Arte Total’s cycle that promotes collaborative projects, linking choreography with videomapping and sound installation.
