Eroica: o véu do incômodo

Abstract

This memorial seeks to describe the processes of creation of the short film Eroica, starting from personal concerns and writings about the gradual process of hearing loss until the transformation of an idea into a film. Eroica brings the sound as the main narrative and aesthetic line, inviting the audience to listen to the similarity of an Otosclerosis sufferer - progressive loss of hearing (without cure) -, placing them in the universe of this new sound experience. The idea took shape from the reading of Ludwig Van Beethoven's will, where he reported the misfortune of losing his hearing and described all his tormented feelings in his social isolation. The film invites a new way of seeing and hearing the world, bringing the public closer to a more organic, provocative, uncomfortable proposal that is not composed of words, but rather of immersive situations, in the context of feeling and bringing a discussion about the ways of being, hearing and how it is inserted in the most varied social contexts.
