Floripes

It is said that Floripes, an enchanted mourish girl, wanders about the village of Olhão, every night, sad and doomed. Hostage of her enchantment, she represents the fear and suffering of this fishermen’s community, whom, dazzled by the spell of the fair and mysterious woman, would die when attempting to cross the seas. This myth is the excuse to evoke their dreads and our greatest fear – death.
