Sweets and Emotions is a piece in four parts about different dramatic possibilities, artificiality, manipulation, fakeness, lies, clichés, and the banal desire to be a star. Through the accumulation of content, we attempt to deal with the illusions and seduction of images. We use tools such as video, text/narration, games, scores, and cinematographic universes to play with a hyper-stimulated world. It’s a soap opera, a film noir (a b side), a music video, a talk show, a 4D film, an experimental performance, a tiktok, and a commercial on the tv in your grandparent’s house. Our process, founded on trust and mutual consent between each other, allowed us to direct and to be directed going beyond the notion of care.
