Documentary about “Between Heaven and Earth”, a creation by actress and director Mónica Calle for the BoCA Biennial 2021, presented at Praia da Bela Vista, on the Costa de Caparica.
At the crossroads of theater and performance, the artist reflects on identity, female representation and the physical and spiritual experience of pilgrimage, in an intimate register, based on personal writing and the poetry of Fiama Hasse Pais Brandão.
The project commissioned by BoCA included a series of actions inspired by the pilgrimage on foot from Lisbon Cathedral to Santiago de Compostela made by actresses Mónica Calle, Mónica Garnel and Inês Vaz. Against the backdrop of Costa da Caparica’s iconic naturist beach, the audience was invited to walk between the dunes and the woods until they met the three actresses and found themselves blindfolded.
This is the 4th in a series of 10 mini-docs on 10 projects that were part of the 3rd edition of the BoCA Biennial.
