Experiencing Interruptions?

107, 108, Mariana (short version)

What are the traces and ruins crossing the embodiment of an old woman? What is evoked by the earth, healing and caring for the bodies of others?

From memories I have of my great-grandmother Mariana, Maria do Arcanjo, I dance her life, her experience, her craft, her prayers.
I dance my love for her among the rosary, litanies, patchwork and regards.

In curves and twists, what moves reverberating between sheets, phrases, memories and gestures?

Mariana is a song and a murmur remaining in my body.
