Setting: the darkness of an empty theatre, with only some pieces of wood and cardboard scattered around, an undefined space. “She” enters, talks and sings. “He” projects light. She transforms herself. From the undefined setting emerge images in the shape of huts, words in the shape of music, short stories from here, legendary heroes from there. Goats, a witch, a parrot, Princess Yémanja join the circle. “Ciranda cirandinha, vamos todos cirandar…”.

Just like the time of childhood and the time of dreams, huts come into existence in the same way as life itself; they are precarious, poetical, and essential. This performance has been created in artistic conjunction with “A Casa da Arte”, an arts and culture centre under the patronage of the Ministry of Culture of Brazil.
