EVERYTHING MUST GO In a city consumed by gentrification, artist João Fiadeiro and the company he keeps postpone and embrace the end at the house they inhabited for the last decades. By vacating, they occupy; by disbanding, they stay together; by celebrating, they reclaim a 30-year-old project from disaffected national politics. What remains when everything must go?

The Poet’s Wife The paintings of the artist Güler Yücel tell about weddings and funerals, of almond blossom and olive harvest, of her husband, the poet, and of herself, her love of life and wisdom. “I can’t paint anything that I have not seen”, says Güler Yücel.

Certain that theatre is more real than life, it was up to the two actresses to live a purer form of life, one that would overcome every likelihood of theatre, turning cinema into the most beautiful con in the world.
