Trilogia da Matéria

The Trilogia da Matéria was built over the past five years and has as its central issue the discussion about the “materiality” of modern life, the body and its needs, the perception of inevitable death and the pursuit of pleasure in this short time of our lives .
Cyborg Manifesto (2008-10) discusses the identification of the contemporary man within his own body and the possibilities to transform it and rebuild it using the new technologies, its decrepitude and inevitable bankruptcy. Naked Landscape (2011) approaches two seemingly distant themes: fashion and death, reflects on death, on the end of this body as an aesthetic allegorical event, and translates the only way death can apparently still become visible today: as a spectacle . Amerika! (2012) concludes this research discussing all that is needed - or thought to be needed - to keep this body alive and healthy, even through the unbridled consumerism, in an endless search for this “kind of” happiness, stamped, very colorful and playful , in absolutely everything you can buy.

Amérika!

Buying is more American than thinking.
Andy Warhol

"... From a funny text of extremely high critical content, the director Joelson Gusson brings to the scene a refined and expressive dynamic, with delicious bits of nonsense, also being important to highlight his courage in the manipulation of rhythmic time - there are scenes without speeches, enormous pauses, but everything always filled with perfectly apprehensible content ...

Naked Landscape

Fashion is a colorful parody of the corpse.
Walter Benjamin

"... The death on the catwalk in Naked Landscape is the same as the one on the newspapers, the only difference is that those on stage are tidy and elegantly dressed, spectacular, protagonist, with a lot of glamour. Death here is not defined to make you cry for nothing, but to make you laugh at her face ... This Landscape of Dragão Voador, is Naked because the dead bodies, except in the media spectacle, became invisible. "

Cyborg Manifesto

The human body became an object of threat that we have the obligation to care for.
Jean Baudrillard

"As a play/pun very well built, using the language of modern theater, Cyborg Manifesto leaves us with a tragic conclusion, grandly accompanied by a hint of self irony. The attempts at reconstruction and deconstruction of the body, disillusionment and ultimate degeneration. "
