A film by Ramón Lluís Bande, for the song by Nacho Vegas included in his new work Resituación.
On Thursday, April 24, LABoral hosted the pre-premiere of Polvorado, one of the songs that is part of Nacho Vegas’ new work, Resituación. The film directed by Ramón Lluís Bande will be shown in the Chill-out area of El Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial until Sunday, May 4th. The official premiere took place on Friday, 25 April, in the digital edition of the newspaper El Mundo.
Polvorado is an audiovisual escrache. A film, shot at LABoral Centro de Arte, that, through the portrait of eight workers and a collection of photographs, takes a stance on the labour and social situation at a time when the class struggle is intensifying (some call it a crisis, others call it a swindle). A film of resistance that, taking up the cry: “Long live the struggle of the working class”, proposes a journey from the personal to the collective.
A vindication of the current need for the pamphlet that, betting on artistic rigour, makes Brecht’s verses its own:
“What times are these
in which to speak of flowers is almost a crime
because it implies keeping silent about so many crimes”.
