utopismo da memória?

 

"Utopianism is the general label for a number of different ways of dreaming or thinking about," "envisaging," "depicting," "describing or attempting to create a better society," often "as a way of achieving significant social change" (REP).

How can we formulate a utopismo da memória as a way of dreaming about a better society?

At the heart of Utopia da Memória (2019) is the act of "criar correpondências."

In some cases, one of the actors creates a "correpondência" between two "fragmentos," such as an image of the Monumento das Castanheiras Mortas and the day "Eu vi minha mãe chorando em frente à televisão que noticiava o massacre de Eldorado do Carajás," or an image of an unspecified street protest and "janeiro de 2119, quando a gente comemorou nas ruas os primeiros 100 dias da Revolução Popular."

In other cases, the "correpondências" are established by "fragmentos" from one generation to another, such as the fictional letters from Maria Bonita "para vocês que habitam o meu futuro" and from a mother in 2134 (the 15th anniversary of the Revolução Popular) to her daugther in 2019 (a hundred years away from this revolution), or the messages left by members of the audience "aos que virão depois de nós" (to borrow from Brecht), which will be stored and opened "daqui 100 anos, em 2120." 

How can we elaborate a utopismo da memória as a way of using such fragments as links to create "una corriente" between past, present, and future generations (to borrow the image used by Valentina Rodríguez in the documentary Nostalgia de la luz)?
