nao e fado e fado bicha CORR
IT’S NOT FADO, IT’S FAGGOT FADO

NÃO É FADO, É FADO BICHA

By Erin Macpherson (South Africa) • 13’ • 2021

Synopsis:

Set against the backdrop of a traditional Portuguese society, Fado Bicha (trans)forms heteronormative Fado music into a queer labyrinth of self-acceptance and self-expression. By reclaiming the scars that homophobia and transphobia have given them, Fado Bicha exposes what Fado music could have been if society were more accepting.
