Rodrigo’s furious alter ego performs a dance solo on a sound track of Brazilian pop-songs that are accompanied by a projection of announcements and lyrics on the back wall of the space. Being an untrained dancer, Rodrigo throws his body into the space and in front of the audience, defying all shame. Approaching a state of despair and fury he performs a wild dance based on movements and gestures that evoke celebration, exoticism, the grotesque, the sexual, and despair. He sings along politically charged lyrics and dances through the projected names of victims of street violence. Rodrigo’s performance (re)produces a tropic-political climate from a subjective point of view and aims at making the energy of fury palpable.
