This film was made during Quarantine’s residency at MITsp – São Paulo International Theatre Festival by Quarantine ensemble member Kate Daley, with Danilo Circa de Souza & Deborah Pinto. The residency was based at Centro Cultural São Paulo and lasted from 9th February to 11th March 2020. 

This film shows the faces of 41 different people who just happened to be in the centre when we were filming. It featured as part of an exhibition, which took place on 7th & 8th March 2020 in the centre to mark the end of the residency.

Titled ‘Eye to eye: who gets to be seen in São Paulo today?’, the residency used the centre as a frame to explore who is visible and/or invisible in the city. We worked with 10 local Brazilian artists and a brilliant translator called Julie. 

The film has no sound and you see each person for around 2 minutes.

It is designed so you can listen to your own music whilst watching, or you can view in silence. 

With thanks to MITsp, the British Council, Centro Cultural São Paulo and everyone who agreed to be filmed.
