Boa Alma

About This Movie

Boa Alma is a fascinating documentary that dives into the world of theatre through the lens of Mónica Calle's solo performance, which stems from Luís Mário Lopes' script. The film captures the transition of Casa Conveniente from Cais do Sodré to a new space in Chelas, and you can really feel the weight of that change in the atmosphere. Brecht's influence looms large, adding layers to the storytelling that are both cerebral and visceral. The original score by JP Simões sets a haunting tone, complementing the rawness of the performances. There's an interesting pacing that mirrors the ebb and flow of theatrical life—sometimes slow, sometimes jarring. It’s a piece that reflects on the struggles and triumphs of art, making you consider the space it occupies in a changing world.
