Fome de Lama
Event
Strongly inspired by Josué de Castro’s work, Fome de Lama (Mud Hunger) is a circus performance that seeks to explore the internal and external balance of Man on the slackline. A constant struggle for existence, like a hungry animal whose instincts control the psyche. Enslaved, Man’s hands look for life, sinking in the mud. Trapped in his own cycle of misery and despair, over an entanglement of roots, Man drowns in the waters that make up the mangrove. Surrounded and suspended in the ropes, he seeks to free himself from the constant struggle for survival. - Douglas Melo
