O MISTÉRIO DA CARNE

2019, Brazil

Rafaela Camelo

In recent years, Pope Francis has permitted women to participate in the Catholic ritual of foot-washing. But when the girls around Camila and Giovana come up with something special to perform the ceremony, their secrets and silent desires are also unleashed. In O MISTÉRIO DA CARNE, Rafaela Camelo explores sexuality and the intense feelings of young people against the backdrop of religious iconography and ceremonies. Having been raised in a strict Catholic family herself, she explores family relationships, adolescence, and sexual awakening in her work.

Vier junge Menschen in farbenfrohen Gewändern treten im Kirchenschiff auf und machen ausdrucksstarke Handgesten, während das Publikum von den Kirchenbänken aus zusieht.
