Vasco Araújo

PATHOSFORMEL is an interdisciplinary work/film, both in form and content. Through scenes and episodes, a look at the historical past is interconnected, using figures from Greco-Roman mythology in order to reflect on the human condition.

A mirrored self-interview, across time (a diptych with current images and those from the beginning of Vasco Araújo's career) and across myth (he appropriates the story and words of Maria Callas to tell his own).

Georges Bizet's famous opera Carmen tells the story of the eponymous Gypsy woman, depicted as being impulsive and with an eye on smuggling. Taking this perpetuated stereotype into account, we visit a group of Spanish gypsy women who are claiming their own space.
