Il n'y as pas de pommes au Paradis

2006 · 35 min

"Il n'y a pas de pommes au Paradis" is built on components from Waiting for Godot, as the 2 companions waiting for things to change; the favela language from El Desbarrancadero by Fernado Vallejos; Anticrist by Nietzsche; and religious rituals, all put together in an irrational pattern. The idea of Paradise, as described to us by different power structures, rules and norms, are being examined; as well as the possibilities for us to break away from it.

“…Sara Gebran, whom the gentlemen Buñuel and Dali might have found amusing if they had met reminds one of a bizarre Beckett-character… a clown of multiculturalism. …In some ways the aesthetic resemble the “beauty warriors” solos created by Jan Fabre…, but Gebran is less sophisticated, more politically direct and feministic"
