BATE (Bait) MAN
written & directed by Gerald THOMAS
original music by Patrick GRANT
performed by Marcelo OLINTO
of the Cia. dos Atores
BATE (Bait) MAN (Autopeças) | Cia dos Atores | Rio de Janeiro/RJ
Após ser torturado em um ambiente árido e inóspito, Bate Man elabora seu raciocínio, dando forma aos seus pensamentos. Em um estado de alerta constante, pressionado não se sabe por que ou por quem, Bate Man constrói uma sutil e profunda análise do homem contemporâneo, com seus medos, desejos e ambições. Um jogo perigoso se faz presente, criando um atrito entre a realidade e o imaginário. O mundo em colapso ideológico, a beira do abismo, é o material que Bate Man utiliza para jogar com humor e tensão, provocando uma reflexão para onde a humanidade caminha. Um quebra cabeça misterioso é apresentado com vigor, envolvendo a todos em uma teia sutil de Informações. O espectador é convidado a participar deste jogo / enigma, onde cada lance envolve todos os sentidos.

Part contemporary hip-hop and part orchestral soundtrack, it is about a young witch who is terrified of infinity itself.
