Laura Belém
Noite de São João magically transposes a rural Brazilian
festival into the urban landscape of Toronto. In Brazil, for the
Feast of Saint John, villages are decorated with multi-coloured
paper flags in a night celebration of music, dancing and food.
In Toronto, Belém fills the sky with starstudded blue flags
swaying to a soundscape of field recordings from the Brazilian
festival, reinventing our relation to our surroundings in a poetic
white night.
