Sinopse
Based on Christa Wolf’s Cassandra and extensive research around witch hunting, Teresa Coutinho wrote and created O Fim foi Visto [The End Has Been Seen]. Combining research and fiction, historical elements and reflections on future political outcomes, Teresa Coutinho fantasises about a future dictatorship in which women, accused of witchcraft, once again see their rights brutally restricted. With the aim of thinking about the dangerous growth of the extreme right across Europe, the idea is to create a fable about fear, passivity and the cyclical repetition of mechanisms of oppression on the part of power. — Agência 25
