Absalom Está a Ver is a provocative series that blends theater, social commentary, and visual poetry in short, intense episodes. In this campaign, we seek the support of those who believe that art should make people think, feel, and disturb.

The world in silence

We live in a time when everyone talks… but few say anything.
It was from this noisy silence that Absalom was born — an eccentric, lucid and provocative character, who observes the world with irony and directness.

The project

Absalom Está a Ver is an original series in short episodes, created and performed by Pedro Pinto , produced by FACETV Portugal .
Each episode is a visual monologue, filmed as an intimate manifesto: against superficiality, against haste, against noise.
We already have the season structure ready and the artistic team assembled.
We now need you to bring this independent work to life, which combines theater, audiovisual media, and social awareness.

The invitation

This crowdfunding campaign will guarantee the recording of the full season: six professional-quality episodes—costumes, lighting, sound, and post-production included.
With your support, we'll put Absalom on screen.

And you? Do you see it yet?

About the author

I'm Pedro Pinto , actor, creator and cultural producer.
I believe that art serves to disturb us — and that the stage can also be a mirror of what bothers us.
I'm not alone in this project: I'm working with FACETV Portugal and a team of theater, video, and design professionals who share my vision.

Together, we want to prove that it's possible to create independent artistic content with quality and courage—and with the help of those who see, feel, and care.
This campaign is more than a call for support: it's an invitation to create.
