Description: Over the space of centuries, the exploration and settlement of Brazil inspired a vast body of stories that sought to define the country. Its people and its history became the focus of an intense gaze that transmuted the image of Brazil into a fantasy landscape, a changeling world of mingled beauty and brutality, by turns quaint, hallucinatory and nightmarish. Cabra is an exploration of the imagination of Brazil and its fever-dream. It is a mapping of the topography of myth itself, a search for the voice of history in the cracks of the colonial facade. Perhaps most of all, it is a search for the voices of the dispossessed, whose very identity is the tortured space of the middle passage, the in-between.
