TANTA deals with the formation of a secret society that intends to dissolve emotions and feelings of the human being because they believe this is the only way to evolution, to separate forever all humans from the weaknesses and failures of the human nature. The scenario is the club Perpetuum, where the secret society operates mixed with ordinary people. A place where the regulars spend many hours, working, presenting projects, rehearsing performances, having fun etc.
Perpetuum starts a system of interactive sound diffusion, an immersive environment that gives the regular goers the opportunity to share their emotions; and, at the same time a manipulated-environment that feeds itself with the contrasts between emotions, apparently a free place if looked from outside, where there is capture and manipulation of the emotions of the regular goers.
The film's plot is encapsulated in this universe, where 13 characters, regular goers between common people and the members of this mysterious secret society, end up being tied up, like bounded bodies, to the core of their existence.

deCapitu is an audiovisual collaboration between composer Rodolfo Valente and filmmaker Alexandre Charro. This work is inspired in Capitu, character from the novel Dom Casmurro (1899), by Brazilian famous writer Machado de Assis. It comprises of six audiovisual chapters and an acousmatic intermezzo. However tempting, deCapitu does not try to depict the romantic misadventure of Bento and Capitolina, a much too familiar plot for Brazilian readers. In turn, it confronts us with a voice that has been silenced over more than a century by a suspect male narrator, by which we’ve long been charmed. His sweet good fellow’s talking made us accomplices of a narrative construction that borders paranoid perversion, convincing us the female character is the only one to blame for his misfortune. So any accusatory attitude is here to be avoided. In the novel, a supposed “betrayal” remains unproved and full of fantasy, but its punishment is concrete, with no appeal or right to a defense: Capitu ends the novel in forced exile, dead and buried in Switzerland. Thus, the choice of deCapitu is to embody the voice of this character which fights against the only thing she knows for sure: that her defeat is implicit in the game rules.

Um tempo sem Lei, onde não se enxerga o que está por vir, em que fantasmas e usurpadores aparecem, onde a urgência do pertencimento se alia ao capitalismo para ir formatando sujeitos…
