Copacabana Mon Amour is a performance of memory and narration of a fictional film from start to finish. The film, which bears the same name as the work, Copacabana Mon Amour, was directed by Rogerio Sganzerla and filmed in Rio de Janeiro in 1970. Copacabana Mon Amour was not released commercially due to censorship imposed by the military dictatorship. Its original negatives were restored, in 2013, after an advanced stage of deterioration. Currently, its preservation copy is in the Brazilian Cinematheque, which was recently burned. Situated at the intersection of performance and cinema, Copacabana Mon Amour starts from the premise that a narrated film is very different from a watched film.
