Cheiro do Ralo/Drained

November 4, 2009 (7:30 pm - 9:00 pm)

Location: 180 Hagerty Hall, 1775 College Road, Ohio State University Columbus Campus

 Lourenç, the owner of a secondhand shop, finds pleasure in taking unfair advantage of customers in financial difficulty. He sees the world as a place in which people, as well as used objects, are for sale, preferably for a vile price. He classifies people according to a characteristic or to the object that is offered to them: "the bride", "the gramaphone man", or "the addict." This process of objectifying people will stop when Lourenç has to relate to them using a currency that is strange to him - namely, affection - from characters he imagined were under his control. Lourenç is obliged to reassess his vision of the world. Heitor Dhalia, 2007, 112'.
