Carlos Henrique Braz is a young black dancer who lives in the Nova Divinéia favela in Complexo do Andaraí, North Zone of Rio de Janeiro. He is about to quit his artistic career as he becomes an adult with a poignant historical weight over his shoulders due to his ethnic and social condition. The piece presents a sensorial narrative of inner conflicts in connection to the territory. His silent speech in performance with the space of everyday life is a mixture of memory and fiction in a dreamlike enchantment of a too-concrete world.
