The short film Asab comes from an old desire of mine to combine the languages of audiovisual and dance. It is a very personal vision on the experience of isolation during the Covid-19 pandemic, because unfortunately in Brazil many people do not even have the option of staying at home during this period. We try to portray in the film some very common feelings in the pandemic, such as exhaustion, prostration, a certain weight in everyday life, melancholy. The crossing that the title Asab suggests comes at a certain moment in the narrative as a desire of the characters for a world of encounters, dance and lightness that we have not had since the beginning of the pandemic, especially when we see Brazil regrettably reaching the mark of around 600 thousand deaths by Covid-19 (August 2021).
