A Portuguese actress in Rio de Janeiro is preparing to embody the role of Carmen Miranda in a mysterious upcoming film. Self-described as a "colourful tropical nightmare about Brazil in 2018", this allegorical narrative created by Catarina Wallenstein and Felipe Bragança about Brazilian colonial memory and trauma is inextricably linked to Portuguese colonial trauma and a mythical Luso-Brazilian identity, seeking to understand the complex relationships between individuals, communities and their relations of power and oppression.
