Alexandria. C.P. Cavafy. The poet of closed space. A solitary room figure. The poet of internalization who seeks in agony the strict enclosure, as this occurs with the people of our era. In the dramatized documentary “C.P. Cavafy, Enclosure and Entrapment”, through the Cavafian poetry we confront the evolution of this willful enclosure within the walls of one’s soul and the sinking into a traumatic past. The documentary was filmed in his real-life town areas, where the poet was inspired and created his work. A city which may even nowadays entrap a man, who seeks himself but is unable to find an escape.
