About Me

CURRENT MISSION

In this life,you can learn three things from a child: be always cheerful, never idle and cry hard for what you want. - A free translation of a poem by Paulo Leminski

ABOUT ME

I am a young theater actress, marionettist and always student.
I consider myself a little shy sometimes , but somewhat more introverted than shy. Actually, I don´t have problems about it. I´m just a girl that likes to have fun in this earth.I love my work and i would love if it was rewarded financially...
I'm trying to see the positive and simple side of life, but without forgetting the unequal reality.

PHILOSOPHY

Living one day after another and try to stop to live all days at once.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One that i remember was in Edinburgh Fringe Festival, in august 2013.
I worked at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in this year with the CIA Amok Theater to which I belong. We played a piece called Kabul that talks about the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, and we had a good number of Chinese public. This was something that struck us...A brazilian theater company talks about afghanistan to chinese public in Scotland...
Art can reveal the universality of human beings in a very intense and concrete way.

Teach, Learn, Share

Many people can be good and generous, and you can believe in a strange people.
I need to discover what people in all world has in common with me, or not, what i can do in the world without much money...We can´t be slaves of money. Many times we are victms of the captalism systm.
