Sound Bodies
2013 - 2014
Participated as Creative Interpreter of the show Sonoplastics , developed by Gpac researchers of UFRJ.
Release: Sound bodies. Sentences express feelings of conflict. The tension of gestures polarizes sensations. Wanting and not wanting. To surrender or not to surrender. Go further into space to reach yourself. Give up strength to weight without losing the softness of shape. Looking and not wanting to see. Finally, give in to everything and live the moment intensely as the eternity of an instant.
