THE CONCEPT
Directed by Avatâra Ayuso as part of a same work in 3 different formats, The Protocol is filmed with an eccentric and retro-futurist cinematic language where the performers in confidence to the viewer, express their thoughts, exposing their contradictions, fears and worries about our relationship with the other. This digital take on The Protocol was inspired by the virtual creative encounters of the team during the lockdown of 2020, that since then have been so indispensable and frequent in our current social and working realities.
