The performance proposes a game where news papers that receives the impression of daily facts is used and transformed though a poetic perspective from each artist. The choreography evolves through a flowing circular movement, where the production of waste is constant.

8 artists from different disciplines and regions around Brazil had the first physical meeting live on stage, the performance and concept was created virtually through emails, skype and videos. The interaction of the camera and it’s visual mobility tries to register each particularity. This is to give the possibility of new angles, movements, dimensions and points of view.
