Brasil, 1990. O plano Collor é anunciado. Sem perspectiva em um país
tomado pelo caos, Paco, um jovem de 20 anos de idade, opta pelo exílio
após a morte da mãe. Parte para Portugal, aceitando uma encomenda
suspeita para pagar a viagem. Em Lisboa, uma brasileira de 25 anos,
acaba de deixar o namorado, envolvido na mesma teia de contrabando.
Os destinos desses dois jovens vão se aproximar, inexoravelmente, numa
fuga desesperada...
Mesclando o thriller, o filme de estrada e um romantismo à flor da
pele, “Terra Estrangeira” se tornou um filme-culto pela liberdade de
sua narrativa e originalidade de suas imagens. Um filme lírico e
poético, com atores luminosos, que marcou o cinema brasileiro dos anos
90.
“Foreign Country” (1997)
A Brazilian movie directed by Walter Salles and Daniela Thomas
Produced by Flávio R. Tambellini
With Fernanda Torres – Fernando Alves Pinto – Luis Melo – Alexandre
Borges – Laura Cardoso – João Lagarto and special participation of
Tcheky Karyi
Brazil 1990. The Collor plan has just been put into place. Without
seeing any perspective in a country in chaos, Paco, a youngster of 20
years of age, decides to go to Portugal after his mother’s death
accepting a ‘deal’ that will pay for his trip. In Lisbon, Alex, a
Brazilian of 25 years has just left her boyfriend who was involved
with the same scheme of contraband. The destiny of these two
youngsters will without a doubt get involved in a desperate flight.
The thriller, a movie with its down to earth aspect and romantics has
become a cult-movie for the liberty of its narrative and the
originality of its images. A poetic movie with flashing actors that
had a deep impact in the Brazilian movie industry in the 90’s.

Assunto: A Viagem, de Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen
O Consulado Geral de Portugal em Toronto apresenta os seus cumprimentos a toda a
comunidade portuguesa da província do Ontário e convida-a a assistir ao recital
A VIAGEM, com actuação do pianista Bernardo Sassetti e da actriz Beatriz
Batarda, na 5ª feira, 26 de Novembro de 2009, pelas 19H30, no Victoria College
(Chapel), 91 Charles St W, Toronto.
A viagem é um conto de Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen sobre um casal perdido à
procura do caminho certo, percebendo que não pode voltar de novo às
encruzilhadas onde escolhera um dos caminhos. É uma viagem "parábola" da nossa
vida em que procuramos, tantas vezes, agarrar o que já passou.
Bernardo Sassetti, nascido em Lisboa, em 1970, iniciou os seus estudos de piano
clássico aos nove anos com a professora Maria Fernanda Costa e, mais tarde, com
o professor António Meneres Barbosa, tendo frequentado também a Academia dos
Amadores de Música. Desde 1987 participa em mais de cinquenta trabalhos
discográficos como solista, compositor e orquestrador. Na área da música para
cinema destaca-se a sua participação no filme do realizador Anthony Minguella -
O Talentoso Mr. Ripley (Paramount/Miramax).
Beatriz Batarda, nascida em Londres em 1974, formou-se pela Guildhall School of
Music and Drama, onde recebeu a Medalha de Ouro do curso, na área de
representação. Iniciou-se no Teatro da Cornucópia, sob a direcção de Luís Miguel
Cintra e Diogo Dória. Recebeu três Globos de Ouro, na categoria de Melhor
Actriz, pelos filmes Quaresma (2003), Noite Escura (2004) e A Costa dos
Murmúrios (2004), tendo sido também nomeada na categoria de Teatro, pelo seu
desempenho em Berenice (TNDMII, 2005). Foi nomeada para os Shooting Stars, pela
European Film Promotion.
A apresentação em apreço, incluída no plano de acções de divulgação da língua e
cultura portuguesas do Consulado-Geral de Portugal em Toronto, conta com o apoio
do Instituto Camões e a colaboração da Embaixada de Portugal em Ottawa e dos
Departamentos de Português das Universidades de Toronto e de York.

Hello Everyone, Our Tuesday's at the Rex (w/ Bill McBirnie and Silas Silva) have been a lot of fun and the turn-out has been fantastic! Here is one more concert not to be missed! Silas Silva (from São Paulo via New York City) is an exciting and talented drummer. Gordon Sheard is one of Canada's finest pianists. Myself, Louis Simão, on acoustic bass. We will be playing songs by Gismonti, Jobim, Powell & Moraes, Pantoja, Buarque & Veloso (to name a few). I hope to see some of you there.
The Candle King (O Rei da Vela), was written by Oswald de Andrade in
1933 and recently translated by Ana Bernstein and Sarah J. Townsend.
Written by the author of the Anthropophagist Manifesto, which
proposed a 'cannibalistic" relationship to colonial and imperial
culture ? overcoming by devouring ? The Candle King is a
ferocious, hysterical, Ubu-esque attack on Brazilian society and
economics, as well as the conventions of dramatic and theatrical
form. Abelard l, The Candle King, who made his fortune selling
candles used to mourn the dead, is also a moneylender who cruelly
takes advantage of his clients' misfortunes with the help of his
assistant, the whip-carrying socialist, Abelard ll. In a grotesque
parody of the medieval romance, Abelard l is engaged to marry Heloise
of Lesbos, who hails from an aristocratic Sao Paolo family, now
fallen on hard times. Trouble in '33, and again in a European
revival in '68.
The Graduate Centre for Study of Drama is pleased to present the
fourth play reading in its fall reading series Fighting Words:
Pugnacious Plays for Tough Times, five plays that wrestle with the
individual response to economic distress. Co-ordinated by Guillermo
Verdecchia, performed on a series of Autumn Sunday afternoons, these
scripts were written for another time and in another place, but in
some measure they continue to resonate with the here and now.
Offering the essential experience of live theatre, these plays are
stripped-down one-time-only performances about money, produced for no
money, and charging none ? well almost none. We are requesting a
donation of food for the Daily Bread Food Bank or a donation of $5 at
the door - if you can afford it.
The cast includes: Kate Abrams, John Astington, Paul Babiak, Nicole
Bischoff, Alaine Hutton, Aida Jordão, Martin Julien, Shelley
Liebembuk, Tom McGee, Adriano Sobretado Jr. and Paula Sperdakos.
