Amparo, SP, 1994.
Lives and works in Rio de Janeiro, RJ and São Paulo, SP. Irmãs Brasil is a double existence of corps queer transvestite artists, born in a rodeo cowboy family in Amparo, in the countryside of São Paulo, were raised in this macho "sertão". The first artistic references, the family: the father - a rodeo clown - and the mother - a drum queen.
The clash of the languages of dance, theater, and performance composes their poetics, like a snake's tongue the experimental practice of freedom that they build in their processes of world creation, born from the encounter between the body and the questions that present themselves as urgent. They work with operations of images and signs to create deviations in heteronormative and colonial technologies.
A constant state of listening and relating accidents in the creation of rituals of preparation of the flesh that give access to the supernatural, to performative actions that they build as Brazil Sisters from the need to escape alive, to present ghosts and raptures.
Two presences assaulting a space-time. Devouring and being devoured. How to celebrate existences at risk? How to keep narrating the fictions of themselves and their healing processes? How to construct, in the field of art, strategies not to die?
We want to be shot by Life and deliver our testimony;
that's what it's about....
