Psychoanalysis on stage

analytical considerations on the short film “Two Distant Strangers”

Abstract

The work in question seeks, from the Freudian concept of “repetition”, to make some analytical considerations on the short film Two distant strangers. In this sense, bringing elements that reflect contemporary society, the film serves as a basis for reflection on racist perversion, which enjoys fixing the black individual in the position of object. However, despite the social repetition that insists on their physical and psychological extermination, there is the desire for life that, by circumventing death, insists and appears.
