Ás Apalpadelas is a short film that weaves together the historical narrative of the construction of the Capela Dam with the intimate testimony of Eladio, a worker who lost his sight in an accident during the building process. His voice—reflective and unwavering—serves as the narrative thread of the piece, guiding the viewer through a layered montage using archival material.
The work does not merely document; it listens. By merging personal memory with industrial history, Ás Apalpadelas opens space for an alternative narrative that acknowledges the body, the landscape, and the invisible scars of progress. This piece is part of a larger project titled Mirar el Auga, which explores submerged territories and silenced ecologies through a performative and affective lens.
