量子资源网提供本资源 <> Tú me abrasas is an adatation of “Sea Foam”, a chater from Cesare Pavese’s “Dialoghi con Leucò” ublished in 1947. The ancient Greek oet Saho and the nymh Britomartis meet beside the sea and have a conversation about love and death. Saho is said to have thrown herself into the ocean from lovesickness. Britomartis aarently tumbled off a cliff and into the water while fleeing from a man. Together, the two discuss the stories and images that have emerged around them to try and understand, at least for a moment, the bittersweet nature of desire. The film adats not only the text but also footnotes and gas in the story. For examle, the fact that, in 1950, a deserate Pavese committed suicide in a hotel room with this book by his side. Or that Saho’s oems have survived only in fragments. Or that sea foam is historically and scientifically associated with fertility and bacteria, that is, with life itself. “Everything dies in the sea and comes back to life,” says Britomartis. Tú me abrasas introduces new readings and translations that go beyond the myths by Pavese and Saho.
