SELVA CORAGEM
It articulates concepts and assumptions of sound art, dramaturgical writing, and performance with perspectives of sustainability, biodiversity and quality of life in the urban environment. It proposes to create interdependence between people and place. It inspires and challenges us to dialogue, face to face and side by side.
