The Anti(dote)weapon Body strives against the TRIAD: Colonialism, Capitalism and White Supremacy. It is about realising the behavioural pattern from the TRIAD and question: how can I dis-embody such behavioural pattern? How can I unlearn?

The artist has been through this questioning and unlearning processes since she moved from Brazil to Europe in 2019. That led her to dive in an autoethnographic practice-based artistic research unfolding through embodiment, vocalisations, writing and activist actions. The performance is a lived manifesto and invites the audience to witness and experience the performer's engagement with the anti(dote)weapon Body in an immersive environment.

“It is about acknowledging History - not only the Eurocentric, but the Native's one with my ancestry and personal history.
It is an attempt to call for togetherness.
It is about re-(dis)-covering my "unmatrixed" voice, motion, way of being, and behaving.
It is my body in its wholeness without excluding no experience and unveiling on which aspect the TRIAD has rooted each one of those precise traumatic experiences.”
