Nothing Escapes My Eyes tells a universal story that unfolds without words: the silent transformation of a place and a human being, both subjected to the melancholy of conforming. A poetic short film inspired by the famous opera Aida by Giuseppe Verdi to depict in a metaphoric way current issues of cultural identity, loss and the pressures to conform. The film relates to the following historical event: Aida premiered in Cairo in 1871 at the Khedivial Opera House. One hundred years later the building was completely destroyed by fire. In its place a big parking garage was built - nevertheless to this day the place is still named Opera Square: Meidan el-Opera. |
