YermaS
by Tommaso Pedone, 2011

YermaS from Tommaso Pedone on Vimeo.

Soundtrack for “YermaS” art video based on Federico Garcìa Lorcas character Yerma, directed and edited by Italian artist Tommaso Pedone:

The intimate drama of the Spanish writer for the director becomes a contemporary metaphor: woman, “all-powerful mother” of humankind, expresses her natural drive to give birth, whilst at the same her modern sensibilities prevent her from noticing that Life is all around, both within and without, trapped, as we all are, by the unending search for the idea of desire itself.
