About Colacerdo
Synopsis
Within a habitat where reality and fantasy merge, Colacerdo stands as the chronicle in sequences of a lineage forced to face the demons that drag historical events with them so that the probable curse of a distant crime does not prevent future generations from having the opportunity for a better life.
Colacerdo is a lineage and is a family nickname. Behind a wedding, an immigration process, and several curses, we will see dozens of characters in the skin of a single actor, a magician and a live musician who will narrate the story of several generations throughout a century of history.
We will tell the dream of a society anchored in a collective ideology, devastated by wars, pregnant with social conflict and bloody repression, and hated by impossible love affairs, and legends of magicians and sorceresses.
An inexorable path towards destruction as dictated by the prophecy of their ancestors, and to the extinction of the lineage.
The project

The music
