In “O Cansaço dos Santos”, Clara Andermatt continues to explore the most primitive side of emotions. It is a piece with a highly symbolic charge, where ritualistic and religious icons are disrupted by a violent sexuality. The two characters, interpreted by Amélia Bentes and Mónica Lapa, are drawn to each other and torn apart in an incessant movement that leads to a profound fatigue.
The soundtrack is by Laurent Petitgand.
