It not easy that a theatre director let a camera record the rehearsals of a play for so long. 'Wielding the soul' is a trip with LLuís Pasqual and his actors while they rehearse ‘El sueño de la vida’ by Alberto Conejero who, in this text, ended the unfinished play by García Lorca ‘Comedia sin título’. From the reading of the play to the opening, we witnessed how Pasqual helped his actors to embody their characters. ‘Wielding the soul’ is a director’s notebook, a notebook not only to talk about theatre but to see how you can make it.

In her native Croatia, the composer Dora Pejačević (1885-1923) is almost as well known as Mozart, but elsewhere she is mostly unknown. Although her works were performed in Dresden, Budapest, Vienna, and many other cities during her lifetime, after her death in 1923 she was quickly forgotten and her name disappeared from concert programs.

Dora Pejačević grew up as a countess in her parents‘ castle in Našice, in present-day Croatia. This privileged background enabled her to develop her musical talent at an early age. For her, however, music was not a pastime, but a real vocation. She studied with private teachers in Dresden and Munich, where she took part in the cultural trends of her time. Her acquaintances included personalities such as Karl Kraus and Rainer Maria Rilke.

A very old Jew passes through the heart of an anonymous European city. His wanderer's appearance and the expression of vertiginous mystery on his face arouse contempt or fear. From the late Middle Ages to the early twentieth century, the Wandering Jew is condemned by Jesus Christ to walk the roads until his return. For the Christian peoples, he was not an imaginary character, but a flesh-and-blood individual whom they could meet on the roads or in the suburbs. Over the centuries, the chronicles of his appearances reflect detestation, pity, and more rarely popularity. In the background, another story emerges, that of the main attribute of the one who cannot settle anywhere: the history of the Jewish people. This documentary is a dive into the memories of the wandering Jew. Told in the first person singular, Ahasverus organizes his collection as an archivist of the world's memory.He recounts his journey and that of his people. He tries to make sense of the curse of living among us on the face of the earth. And in this, he holds up a mirror to us.
