This is a contemporary interpretation of The Ichneutae by Sophocles, which, along with Cyclops, is the only Euripides satire that survived to our times.

O verão árabe de 2011. Dia após dia, milhares de jovens manifestantes egípcios inundaram a Praça Tahrir, no Cairo. O poeta e artista sonoro Stéphane Montavon montou uma colagem psicodélica composta de imagens de livre acesso da revolução, acrescentando uma sonda acústica cheia de tensão, rebelião e agressão das forças repressivas. A turbulência revolucionária é expandida em uma dimensão sonora de instalação do autor. É uma história impressionante de momentos simbólicos de lutas extáticas pela democracia e uma nova Constituição. Ele expõe lemas, slogans dos manifestantes e diálogos das vítimas massacradas. As imagens das forças governamentais repressivas são confrontadas com a vida cotidiana. Em uma manhã fria, a revolução traída se transforma em uma rotina do dia-a-dia.
Script
The chicken lost its head, the cow’s guts are out in the open and blood is spurting all over the screen. The protagonist works at a production line where automated processes have made her approach her job and its effects in a cool-headed emotionless way. Each day, she makes chicken for dinner, but one day, a piece of meat starts staring at her in a strange way. A grotesque animation about what ends up on our plates.

The locations are often, as we know, independent of the sites where the events narrated in the films are supposed to take place. Even more so when it comes to blockbuster films, science fiction films, fantastic or mythological films or films placed in antiquity. For it is crucial to benefit from natural light, full sun, grandiose scenery (mountains or surrounding deserts), but also of extras recruited on the spot. Ouarzazate, in Morocco, has long been a resourceful town for this industry, which consists of reinventing everything, including the slightest biography. Our three directors chose to explore behind the scenes of this imaginary factory, but with a particular attention to extras. In the form of light comedy sketches, we are witnessing the solo performances of those usually relegated.
