PERSONNAL COMMENT :This is one of the filthiest short I’ve ever seen. Yes, filthy : litterally ! The « performers » (this has nothing to do with acting) wallow hysterically in mud, decomposed meat, gooey fluids, muck and whatnot. It’s gloriously messy, baroque and decadent as hell. You’re gonna love it.
There are a few spanish spoken words and lots of grunting but - believe me - you're not gonna need subtitles.
PLOT SUMMARY :Frontón, a shepherd from Navarre, tries to reach the Moon. His journey takes him through strange and dreamlike places. On his wanderings he meets a woman called Lax who dominates him psychically and sexually. Plo, a naive shepherdess completes the love triangle. In the end, Fronton reaches the moon by being born from the body of his new mother, Lax.
COMMENTFronton is 20 minutes long and was shot in 35mm. It was filmed in Navarre in December 1992 after extensive fieldwork in the area. The project originally came about thanks to a grant from the Department of Culture of the Navarre local government. It was awarded to the team made up of Ana Zabalegui, Dani Nicolay and Marcel.lÌ for a documentary project.
However, the creative process transformed the original content of the project into a narrative fiction. This relates a series of conflicting situations confronting the local Navarre traditions with the hedonism of the femme fatale Lax. The film was not very well received by the Department of Culture of Navarre, which explains the absence of their logo in the credits for the producers.
ABOUT MARCEL LI ANTUNEZ ROCA :Marcel.lí Antúnez Roca (Moià, 1959) is well-known in the international art scene for his mechanotronic performances and robotic installations...
In the early nineties his performance EPIZOO caused a commotion in the international art scene. For the first time a performer’s body movements could be controlled by the audience. By operating a videogame, a spectator interacts with the bodybot worn by Antúnez, moving his buttocks, pectoral muscles, mouth, nose and ears. This performance stresses the ironical, and even cruel, paradox rising from the coexistence between virtual digital iniquity and the performer’s physical vulnerability.
... Antúnez’s work has been based on a continuous observation of how human desires are expressed and in what specific situations they appear. First in the tribal performances of La Fura del Baus and later, on his own, he expressed this interest by creating complex, in many cases hybrid, systems hard to classify. Antúnez’ works belong to the fields of both visual and scenic arts.
From the early nineties, the incorporation and transgression of scientific and technological elements in Antúnez’ work, and their interpretation by means of unique and specific devises, have produced a new cosmogony - warm, raw and ironic - of traditional themes such as affection, identity, or death. In his works these elements take on an extremely human dimension that causes a spontaneous reaction in the audience.
