Storyline

Oração is a song-film where two musicians and a dancer elaborate the relationship between Afro-Brazilian diasporic memory and popular song. Based on a reference to collage and beat, the film develops strategies for inventing the memory of bodies historically deprived of their history and their affections. A proposal for the present and also for the future, a request, a thank you. The voice, the song, as a place of sharing, healing and singing: a prayer.
