Throughout our lives we are forced to move from one place to another. This process begins when we leave our mothers' wombs and ends with a journey to the next plane, or at least that's how it is for those who believe in spirituality.

As Águas Também Choram is a research exercise in which the artist invites the audience to embark on a journey from South to North, where we will hear the voices and cries of those who never managed to complete the path they set out on. Chants of those who reached the promised land, their dreams completely haunted, like the traces of a forbidden route.
