With text by Capicua and body and voice by Tiago Barbosa, “A Tralha” is an almost monologue about accumulation. An essay on waste and obsolescence in the form of a personal narrative and a reflection on the objects that surround us, that serve as an extension, that contain our memories and that serve as an interface with the world. Written at a peculiar moment in our collective life, it starts from the story of a man who is left alone, in the long months of confinement, surrounded by inert matter, rubble and memories.

This is the last in a series of 10 documentaries about 10 projects that were part of the 3rd edition of the BoCA Biennial.
