In North:Trial by Fire a daring group of boys feel the nightly hoods with their Mirandês cries. Mysterious, hypnotic, and trance-like old rites are set around a bonfire by the Caretos. Wild musical loops, improvisation, and endurance set the mood.
The project was developed under the frame of a commission by Filmadrid – Festival Internacional de Cine and first exhibited as a live performance, in the festival’s second edition at La Casa Encendida, Madrid (9 June – 14 June 2015).Lamland
