[english]

two encounters with brazil. as diverse thes huge country itself.
first renata roman invites us to join her for a trip to indian natives – people whose voices often remain unheard on the political agenda.

" At a time when we witnessed the worsening situation of Brazilian Indians in various parts of the country due to economic interests it is fair to hear them: the simplicity of the dialogue, the reflection of the thinker, the letter from the explorer. Everything is revealing." [R.R.]

renata roman is an independent brazilian artist based in são paulo. her artwork revolves around radio pieces, installations, sound poetry and field recordings. she keeps the sound map of the city of são paulo.

in the second part, the brazilian artist f? ribeiro presents a composition based on the dances of electromagnetic fields:

"'Radiodance Opus.01 'Y Do B?'' starts from the voice, the presence of the verb and the dance of electromagnetic fields to compose a body program of synaesthetic flexing of the body limits, it's listenings and gestures. In the metaphysical inversion of the body (udob), the representation of the clash of embodiment springs a question: why do we keep insisting on engineering the 'being'? Why do we still believe in artistic performance when it has no longer the power to update the world? We ask the listener to watch his body with utmost attention during the broadcast and dance." [F?R]
