Pedro Costa & Os Músicos do Tejo
As Filhas Do Fogo
Client: Cineteca Madrid
Type: Audiovisual performative show
Al Filhas do Fogo is a scenic project by the Portuguese filmmaker Pedro Costa. The story tells how, fleeing from a devastating Fogo volcano eruption, three young sisters arrive from Cape Verde to a European port. There they wander, holding hands, conjuring their fears through music and songs. There are no demons coming to receive them. Between theater, film, performance and musical, Pedro Costa and Os musicos do Tejo reinvent for RAYO a show that wanders through the days and nights, the misery, the darkness of the alleys and the invisible lives of so many migrants.
