In the throbbing of an ancestral memory, the performer seeks emotional references in the real/fictitious creative transit that proposes a work clothing from northern Portugal. The straw material, present in various ordinary/ numerous rituals of knowledge/doing, in diverse cultures, is used as a device of discoveries shooted by the artist’s body, which by the deviations of survival had to abandon dance as a vocation. Spirits of Amerindian and AfricanAmerican people inspire the awakening of a triad of enchanted to sew with the Lusitanian robe, awakening it from what was intended for it: the work that dismays the feast. Between the dance forgotten by a spirit and a forgotten body of the dance the straw flies.
