Orfeu Negro

Wednesday March 27 |  7.00 pm

Orfeu Negro
Orfeu Negro (Black Orpheus) is a 1959 romantic tragedy film directed by French filmmaker Marcel Camus, and starring Marpessa Dawn and Breno Mello. It is based on the play Orfeu da Conceição by Vinicius de Moraes, staging the Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice in a contemporary favela in Rio de Janeiro during Carnaval. The film was an international co-production by companies in Brazil, France and Italy.

The film is particularly noted for its soundtrack by two Brazilian composers: Antônio Carlos Jobim, whose song "A felicidade" opens the film; and Luiz Bonfá, whose "Manhã de Carnaval" and "Samba de Orfeu" have become classics of bossa nova. The songs performed by Orfeu were dubbed by singer Agostinho dos Santos. Lengthy passages of filming took place in the Morro da Babilônia, a favela in the Leme neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro.

Orfeu Negro won the Palme d'Or at the 1959 Cannes Film Festival, the 1960 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, the 1960 Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Film and was nominated for the 1961 BAFTA Award for Best Film.

While the 1959 adaptation has been celebrated internationally, it has been criticized by Brazilians and scholars for exoticizing Brazil for an international audience and reinforcing harmful stereotypes.

Memoria Derá
In a dystopian Caribbean setting a mother comes back to rescue her sons through the awaking of collective memories and transcendent communication. The younger brother Tito wants to remember, while Ray the older sibling has buried his memories very deep and far away. This film is an homage the African Maroons across the America's.

Concert Mi T’ei

Event

Mi T'ei
Crisèn i su 8.40 Band

Wednesday December 27
Doors open 7.00 PM
Concert starts 7.30 PM

With her forth concert 'Mi T'ei' (I am here) Crisèn shares her thoughts through music with her 8.40 Band. During her concert 'Mi T'ei' she will presents new songs like the title song 'Mi T'ei', dedicated to her father who passed away suddenly at the end of 2020. Also 'Boroto di Silensio' a new song, dealing with thoughts and feelings we would like to hide or ignore, but will haunt us if not dealt with.

"If you can't understand the message behind my song 'Mi ke bo komprondé' (I want you to understand), it's understandable we won't ever understand each other, you understand?"

Who is Crisèn? In her own words: "I guess you could say I'm a creatively crazy busy bee but never too busy for my loved ones. I love writing, acting, singing, swimming, reading, having conversations and connecting with people but also love quality time with myself every once in a while: I'm an extraverted introvert! I'm crazy about my dogs Pepo and Nala and love the tranquility of my home. I am not defined by solely my art but it's undeniably the most important channel for me to express, to reflect, to inspire, to teach, to share. I would love to travel more in the future and if you ever find yourself wondering what present to give me, well a book (preferably in Spanish or English), handmade herbal soaps, shower gels, fruits & veggies, all kinds of tea or whatever reflects that you 'took your time to watch or know what I really want or need', will do!"
