80 min.
Guest curator Jussara Felix will present Tônica Dominante, an essay film about music creation. Structured like a classical sonata with three movements, the film recounts three days in the life of a young clarinet player. On the first day, he endures loneliness and fragility. On the second day, what could have been a pleasant encounter becomes a nightmare. On the third day, he finally finds peace of mind through music.
