corpo raiz

corpo raiz surge a partir da vontade de retratar a importância da preservação e conservação do Planeta Terra, tendo em conta os desafios que enfrentamos na atualidade. Este ilustra o nascimento – sob a raiz de um corpo e a respiração – espelhado pelo ambiente presente no ecrã que representa assim o pulmão de qualquer ser vivo. O espetador será conduzido a uma reflexão e questionamento sobre as suas ações, através da interpretação de vários corpos envoltos pela natureza.
