The tribute to Glauber Rocha in the Antropocénica 3 programme, with the complete public reading of the filmmaker's two manifestos, had the support of his daughter, Paloma Rocha. The reading was recorded in audio that incorporates the entire sound ambience of the place on a sunny afternoon on the grassy lawn of the Torre de Belém, 23 October 2024 in Lisbon. Built between 1514 and 1519 near the north bank of the Tagus, during the reign of King Manuel I, it is a fortress, a military architectural structure, a defensive device strategically situated to defend the mouth of the river. Like the other activities programmed by Antropocénica since the beginning of this international series, the event took place at a site specially selected for its symbolic and historical dimension: inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1983, the Torre de Belém is one of the identity symbols of both Lisbon's urban landscape itself and of Portugal in the world, as it relates to the time of the maritime expansion of an empire formed from the interconnection of non-contiguous territories, a triggering process of the complex dynamics of colonial exploitation in the Modern Age, on a global scale, which lies at the origin of the history of countries such as, for example, Brazil, Cape Verde, Angola, Guinea-Bissau, São Tomé and Príncipe, Mozambique and East Timor.
