Following up the North American premiere of Candeias’ Brazilian Western, MEU NOM E TONHO, Spectacle Theater & Cinelimite are proud to present the US premiere of Candeias 1970 film, A HERANÇA, an experimental adaptation of Hamlet which takes place in Brazil’s rural west further pushing the boundaries of Shakespeare’s Hamlet and its relation to the history of rural Brazil.
Candeias’ third feature composed of some of the most haunting and lyrical images of his entire oeuvre is set to a surrealistic soundscape of popular music, laughs, grunts, & the sounds of nature and it remains one of the most poetic translations of the classic Shakespearean tale.
Special thanks to Eugenio Puppo and Heço Produções.
