Kubita

Film informations

Maria Tarantino

In Kubita, action-theatre turns to musical comedy when a group of Burundese prisoners perform scenes based on their experiences as victims of torture.

Under the eyes of guards who have also been their torturers, the prisoners expose different facets of violence by turning them into absurd and paradoxical situations.

Filmed in 5 days and without a budget Kubita is a raw filmic experience in which the creative process at the heart of theatre becomes a cathartic ritual of personal liberation.
