Rat Fever
“They can shut the artist up, but never his poetry”
Drama
Zizo, a radical and anarchist poet living in a marginal quarter of Recife in the north eastern state of Pernambuco, distributes his social angst-filled thoughts through a publication named Febre do Rato, and spews poetry to anyone who’d listen. Our character always revolves within the universe that he has created around himself. A very particular world, in which satisfying the unfortunate is a mixture of a kind of benefit with high dose of malice.
VIBE
A raw, unflinching look at a poet railing against societal decay. It feels like a fever dream of urban decay and defiant art, a potent cocktail of anger and bleak beauty.
