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.
