Chapter 2: Instructions Manual ( Manual de instruções)

Public and private spheres intersect through the use of games, rules and instructions taken from the memories of the participants. A recollection of the references that have established us as individuals, as dancers, as Brazilians. The notion of identity - of a body, a dance, a group, a nation - as a construction marked by the view of the “Other”. The “neo-colonialism”, the “Brazilian body”.

This performance was created through collaborative process by André Masseno, Dani Lima, Denise Stutz, Michelle Moura, Mônica Burity, Renato Cruz and Vivian Miller.
