Jeremy Xido of CABULA6 is writing a screenplay. For a movie. The story begins under a Mulberry Tree in Lisbon, Portugal and winds its way across the ocean and along the Benguela Railway to the battered heart of the high plains of Angola - to the town of Kuito. It’s a road movie. A brother and sister traveling back to the roots they never knew they had. It’s going to be funny and moving and uplifting. It’s gonna be about being “here” and “there”, about the changing face of the world where Europeans are black and Africans look Chinese. It’s going to be a great movie. The only thing is, Jeremy needs 5 million dollars to get it made....

The Angola Project is part of a larger CABULA6 project series, Life on Earth, about traveling, immigration, emigration, diasporas and shifting notions of home. It is based on interviews with people Jeremy met in Lisbon, Portugal and in Angola, along the Benguela Railway. The Angola Project is an ongoing investigation into the relationship between performance and screenplay – and discloses the mechanisms of art-making and the arts world in general. The performance, which absorbs the ever increasing film footage and develops a screenplay in front of the eyes of the audience, will be the basis for an eventual feature film. Focussing on people whose lives and imaginations travel back and forth between Portugal and Angola, Asia and Africa. The Angola Project is a funny and moving investigation into global events and the complex unexpected mash-up polycultural identities emerging in the 21st Century.
