SONGE – Between Dusk and Dawn

Between the final breath of dusk and the first light of dawn, SONGE – Between Dusk and Dawn unfolds as a poetic, choreographic, and sonic journey through a living natural landscape.

Freely inspired by Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the film weaves nature, movement, and music into an organic fusion. Here, the forest breathes, the bodies surrender, and light becomes breath. Nothing is mere scenery—everything is alive, everything participates in the ritual.

SONGE is a waking dream, a liminal space where the visible brushes against the invisible. Between sacred movement and elemental presence, the film questions origin, transformation, and our fragile connection to the world around us.

Director Biography

Fabio Aragão is a Brazilian artist based in Paris, whose work creates a vibrant bridge between Afro-Brazilian roots and contemporary forms. Moving fluidly between dance, video, photography, and graphic design, he crafts immersive and sensitive worlds guided by ritual, memory, and transformation.

His portrait-format series GENÈSE – Portrait de Famille (2021) and CARANCA (2024) were both awarded Artistic Merit at the Luxembourg Art Prize, celebrating the symbolic and visual strength of his language. Through these multimedia works, Fabio explores the tension between the sacred and the profane, heritage and reinvention—combining photography, drawing, painting, and graphic composition.

His artistic approach invites us to feel—through the body, the image, and sound—the invisible dimensions of the human experience.
