  2. 2. Apresentação Do Rosto

    Uma sequência de versos intensos e sensoriais que investiga a face como metáfora do eu e do outro, fundindo corpo e palavra em imagens vívidas e surpreendentes. A linguagem, por vezes fragmentária e exuberante, desafia a linearidade narrativa e põe em cena desejo, memória e presença, numa busca poética pela origem e pela identidade através de metáforas corporais e ritmos contidos e violentos.
