PEIXE ABISSAL

PEIXE ABISSAL é um filme a partir do universo poético do escritor e compositor Luís Capucho. Nos anos 90, Capucho descobriu-se soropositivo e com sequelas físicas que se tornaram fonte de sua reinvenção artística. Entre literatura, música e pintura, sua obra, lírica e selvagem atravessa os personagens de sua autobiografia ficcional do submundo gay e cinemas pornôs do Rio de Janeiro.

ABYSSAL FISH is a creative film in the border between fiction, real and performance through the artistic work of Luís Capucho. A singular artist who survived the time when the HIV represented the death stigma. Building an amazing work of poetic power post­disease, Capucho surpasses the physical sequels that have left him mute and without part of his body movements for a while, until the current partial recovery.

Crossing hybrid aesthetic resources of fiction and documentary in an autobiographical narrative of an artist who tells his own story through books, paintings, music and a daily blog. We pursue Luis Capucho's language, his visceral and simple art, mixing his biography with the recreated characters who attend to porn cinemas and its universe. Such scenes are told from a trip in search of his unknown father and the peregrination to his deceased mother and their memories in Our Lady Aparecida Cathedral. A film that deeply dialogues with Luís Capucho in the artistic development and process of creation, and brings an fundamental and renewing story of overcoming.
