Jimi Hendrix: Live at Woodstock

Jimi Hendrix: Live at Woodstock

Nine o'clock on Monday morning, August 18, 1969: while the work force was starting the day, Jimi Hendrix was taking the stage at Woodstock. While hundreds of thousands had already left, 25,000 people remained to see this incredible performance. Hendrix, along with drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Billy Cox, offered masterly renditions of the songs of the recently disbanded Experience ("Hey Joe," "Foxey Lady"), and gave a preview of the blues-based Band of Gypsys ("Izabella," "Hear My Train A Comin'"), as well as Jimi's era-defining rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner." Though the weekend had witnessed some landmark performances by other great artists, this performance from Hendrix is regarded by many as the defining moment in a festival ripe with defining moments.

As each heroine struggles to find the perfect bra, she bares not just her chest, but her soul, sharing tales of triumph, tribulation, and the occasional wardrobe malfunction. For breasts aren't just fleshy accessories-they're the protagonists of our life's epic. From the awkward moment they first break out, to the sobering reality checks of mammograms, our relationship with our "girls" is a bouncy roller-coaster of ups and downs because life, much like a poorly fitted bra, is full of surprises. This film unravels the mystery, myth, and full support between women and their breasts. It's a story that's written on our bodies, in every curve, contour, and stretch mark.

Caos Danado

Caos Danado

Created in parallel to the show Teoria das 3 Idades by Sara Barros Leitão, Caos Danado accompanies this creative process as its departure point. Based on the archive of the Teatro Experimental do Porto, it challenges our capacity to evoke and preserve memories through the various types of perception we possess. Caos Danado is a narrative deconstructed between fiction and documentary (lie vs. truth), because the one is not more important than the other.
