Solo Performing Arts
Prima Rosa
Cine-Teatro Garrett, Sala Principal (Main Room)
Synopsis
A body explores its own masculinity through the search for euphoric states with the movements of its own hips. Performativity and sensitivity are presented as a form of revolution against the normative stereotype of transmasculine expression, while, between memory and a construction of future vision, a new adolescence is lived. Prima Rosa proposes an introspective journey of resistance, in which the body becomes the vehicle for constant reinvention. — Eríc Amorim dos Santos
