“Blood Brothers” by Miguel Coimbra & Marco Espirito Santo

A stark portrait of Portuguese-style bullfighting by Lisbon-based directors Miguel Coimbra and Marco Espirito Santo. “Blood Brothers” follows the Forcados Amadores de Montemor as they return to the arena for the first time after the death of their former leader. Unlike traditional bullfighting, these young men work together to subdue the bull as a unit. According to the directors the intention behind the piece was to focus on that collective dynamic and “make it as raw and unromantic as possible.” Original score by Mikkel Solnado.
