Cantar

Eight people embark on a great journey on foot. They are part of the same family or a caravan of traveling performers on tour or a pod of whales making the crossing from the coasts of the Colombian Pacific to the cold waters of Antarctica. We do not know where they came from or where they are going. They travel to avoid the announced catastrophe. And they sing.

They sing to ward off their ills, to find relief. They sing like Gal Costa in the album Cantar (Sing), released in 1974, at the height of the military dictatorship in Brazil. They sing as a form of resistance. They sing even if the structures shake, the circus loses its tent, the sea invades the cities, or humanity forgets how to love.
