The Anguish of this Argument
2010 | Satyros 1, São Paulo – Brasil
"Between delicacies and slow dancing, we discuss the logic of the myth and the power of the spectator. And, as if partying is the last hope for igniting the will, we search among the ruins for the remain hero. Activating the revolutionary memory of those who never made a revolution, we build one in our image and leave what remains to the others. This is a show that has already been sold, that has already surrendered to the capital and, because of that, needs all of your love. Like they sing in the portuguese popular songs, we try to convince the beloved to accept the heavy inheritance of a life that is not recommended. And, as grandma Maria says, less parades and more molotov cocktails!"
