BRIEF SYNOPSIS
Minotavr II of The death of the minotavr talks about the concept of the heroine's journey. Suffering, horror and exhaustion lead the protagonist to meeting his own shadow in a process of transformation, abyss and expiation, because only murdering to minotaur and everything he represents is possible to return to life. Minotavr II invites us to reflect on why, as a society, instead of killing the Minotaur, we blindly continue to send him women only to be devoured and ask them why they simply did not fight, why they did not try get out of the labyrinth.
A hybrid, experimental and silent film that shows the darkness before escaping the labyrinth. Digital photography, Midraf calligraphy (an alphabet created by the filmmaker from dreams and altered states of consciousness), collage and automatisms are part of the visual language of the film, in which the Jungian archetype of the shadow is referenced. The death of the minotavr is a video art considered in the fourth wave feminism.
