Following the research about stereotypes created by foreign people in relation to my country, Brazil, started in the solo "We don't have money, but we are funny"(2009), I intend to make in this performance the inverted relation: my foreign sight about the place where I am living for almost 3 years, perceiving on how this experience reflects in the body's presence and in the artistic work.

A trip to Minho(a region in the north of Portugal)in August 2009, made my interest to Portuguese culture bigger, specially through the contact with bailaricos
(traditional parties in small Portugueses villages). The relation between these parties and its romantic songs remembers me the songs I used to listen at the same kind of manifestation in Brazil. This helped me to enlarge the conexion points between the popular culture of Brazil and Portugal.
