2004

The starting point for the performance Massa de Sentidos was the object created by Marcel Duchamp, in 1951, in which a mould is made with the paste that dentists use to make false teeth. Duchamp puts this paste inside his woman, takes a mould, which, rendered as a positive, he calls Object-Dard. With this object Duchamp puts into play, in my way of seeing it, the inside-outside and full-empty relationships, a kind or relationship I search to articulate in Massa de Sentidos.

Massa de Sentidos was included as one of the best dance works of the year listed by the Brazilian national newspaper O Globo.
