'Cyrano' (2022): A Bittersweet Tale of Unrequited Love and Self-Acceptance
This modern update of the beloved classic swaps Cyrano's signature pronounced nose for achondroplasia, for a different vision that still retains the original's essence.
The Portrait
A group of actors interpret the words of Basil, Lord Henry, Dorian Gray, Sibyl Vane and James Vane, from the novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde. Next to them are the Butlers - figures that compose the scenic space, essentially empty.
In this adaptation of a literary work to the scene, the actors struggle with the movement of the words and their suitability for the drama.
This film, instead of portraying the show creation process, sought a view from afar in order to enhance a point of view on the borders between art and life.

Instead, obstacles arise, both physical and mental, which attempt to dissuade us or even prevent us from moving forward, stalling or stagnating the momentum to achieve what we desire.
