Between Rivers
Between Rivers – a sketch
is a convergence of two creations, which starts in the symbolic space of the Green River, one of the multiple underground rivers from São Paulo, and continues in my beginner’s view of Fraser River. It is a homage to all rivers, our ancestors, our grandparents. From the shores of both rivers, I gathered plants to dye the costumes. One of them is almost finished as a long robe, and the other is only in the beginning of its blues. A whisper from the waters through the body and plants.

The performance was created for the VOAF – Vancouver Outsiders Art Festival 2024, and was presented at the Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre in 2024.
