Obscuro Domínio

Obscuro domínio is a filmed show that commemorates Eugénio de Andrade’s centenary. It is the realisation of his poetics in an open space and in the bodies of three performers and a pianist. It’s a hybrid object that fuses the language of theatre with that of television, and both of them with poetry, materialising themes that run throughout Eugénio de Andrade’s work, such as nature, desire, death and the craft of poetry itself.

Directed by João Sousa, Obscuro Domínio leans on a strong ensemble — André Loubet, Duarte Melo, Nuno Nolasco — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2023.
