Os Sertoes - O Homem 1 Images and Video
The Os Sertoes series of 5 plays were first produced in 2003 -2006. Here are some photos from various productions of the second play ( O Homem 1) which covers the history of early man in Brasil. Being primarily about early man it is presented largely by nude actors with a lot of symbolism and much nude audience participation.
These photos include a couple of shots from a short film made in 2003 including the scene showing the same act where Anna Guilhermina became pregnant during one of the performances that season. This scene represents how man, with his slash and burn agriculture, first seeded the land and then, by overuse, turned it barren. The impregnation was not in this filmed performance as can be seen from both the short duration of the seeding action and the obvious lack of readiness of the male actor.
The film was made by a visiting artist and the quality is not as good as can be expected from the official DVD of that play (released in 2010) when it finally arrives. The images are likewise.
This short film is available in the same folder as described in my post of 26 Feb
