Santa Barba, paisagem imaginária

By exalting one of his alter egos, Paulo Pinto brings together poetry, theatre and music in a hybrid performance.
Loaded with references to Brazilian popular culture and religious identities, the piece is a mirror of autobiographical emotions about happiness, loss, mourning… “A sensitive sharing to unburden silences and lull your child to sleep”.

Part of the public program for the exhibition Ensaios de uma Coleção — Novas aquisições da Coleção Municipal de Arte.
