Subtone

Subtone is the sequel to Casio Tone and this time the story takes place in Ms. Domicília's workplace, a very strange place where, if it were not for her daily struggle waged against a terrible and invisible enemy called boredom, this woman would really have nothing to do…

After all, Casio Tone has a sequel. Because sequels are trendy, and because it would be a waste not to make use of Casio Tone’s choreographic potential and visual games to create Subtone, far from being a subcategory of the original, an imperfect film made with leftovers […] Subtone, by choreographer and dancer Sílvia Real, is all of that. It is the surprise of movements, the comical movements, the nearly dramatic comedy. Though it would be an exaggeration to call it a an almost Tati-like show, it is coherent to say that the funny and upright Ms. Domicília could very well be Mr. Hulot’s companion.
