FUNARJ Award - Ondas da Cultura 2023

In the midst of contact with nature, a woman walks alone and becomes delirious when she gets lost in the forest. Like a train crossing a road, the panic of the unexpected causes her to lose track of reality. The attempt to move forward and overcome the adversity that arises in the middle of your path is analogous to existence itself, just as nature follows its flow. She regains her consciousness when she feels the flow of nature.

FUNARTE Award - RespirArte 2020

Amid the social isolation from covid19 pandemic, "A Espera" seems as a pause; a breathe; an encounter with nature. Brisa Caleri moves like a spirit who tries to fit into her own body, aligned with the space she inhabits. A chair, an elemental instrument created by man, punctuates the performance of this spirit in action. The expectation for the following moment, unpredicted as life.
