An online collective reading of regeneration. A healing ritual. The book "The falling sky", written by Yanomami shaman Davi Kopenawa and anthropologist Bruce Albert, was read collectively at one stroke, in a session that started at sunrise and followed until the last of almost 600 pages. A reading ritual, which also evokes the dance marathons that erupted in critical and pandemic periods. 43 readers, 22 hours of uninterrupted reading.

The broadcast took place in February 2021 through Improvável Produções' youtube and facebook channels.
