Vazio

Gonçalo Alegre

This short film arises as an aesthetic manifestation of GONGORI’s debut album,
based on the premise “to create is to be… in the emptiness of the whole, in the
wholeness of nothing, to dream is to be whole… is to be empty.”
VAZIO, therefore incites a reflection on the origin of a being’s creation and existence,through a storyline structured in five sections and imagined for five performers: the Creator and the empty; Tuniya and the up; Luziana and the rivers; Ala & Alote and the light, creativity and logic; the Creator and the whole.
As such, GONGORI teases the spectators’ gaze with an artistic blend of music,
theatre and dance, inviting them into a sensory journey through time and space,
through sound and imagery.
