Papangú

The flesh bounces and the whole body raves, oozes. In the absence of escape, theliquid pierces and settles into the holes and cracks of the ground. PAPANGÚ, thebody-bomb, is composed of fragments guided by the desire for change: I want, Iwant! And in a magical gesture, the hungry man chews with his ass, with his eyes,with his sweat, with his mouths, the anatomy of color that clings to the ground.
