Serras da desordem

Surviving a massacre and the destruction of his native village, Carapirú, Awa Guajá, runs away and spends ten years wandering about the far-off regions in Brazil. In November 2988, 2,000 kilometres away from the jungle he was forced to leave, he is found by an anthropologist specialising in indigenous cultures and taken to Brasilia, where Carapirú is turn into a media phenomenon. Blurring the boundaries between fact and fiction with an amazing sense of humour and a formal freedom verging on licentiousness, Serras da desordem is the reconstruction of Carapirú’s initial trip, picturing in his story the tragedy of a culture violated for the sake of an imaginary, brutal, progress.
