Ophelia is Thisrty

When words become useless or incomplete, when the energy, outcome of accumulated distress, needs to leave me to come to world, it's time to get my body into action. I’m training myself every day to be an expression of what my mouth is just unable to contemplate. I’m training myself to be a mirror of the men, to every human being who watches me, can be seen and can see itself represented on me. This is my work. I am an actress.

A small change is already earned my stay on the planet. Because if the human being who watches my videos, or myself on the stage, feels melting in some way, it means that they have become at least a little more sensitive doing so. And that is what I expect to humanity as an artist. Sensitivity and transformation.

De Pobre a Nobre (From Poor to Noble) - Belo Horizonte, Brazil

That's me as the pub's landlady of The Taming of The Shrew's prologue. As Sly, Ricardo Martins.

Directed by Marcos Vogel and produced by Companhia Ludica dos Atores (Playing Actors' Company) the play is outcome of a practical study about the dramatic structure of Shakespeare's plays (prologue - scenes - epilogue).

Hamlet em 15 Minutos / Hamlet in 15 Minutes - Belo Horizonte, Brazil

That's me playing Gertrudes and Ricardo Martins as Hamlet. I bagged for the Gravedigger role as well and the director gave it to me! I love that fool! (I mean the Gravedigger, not the director...)

Directed by Marcos Vogel, produced by Companhia Ludica dos Atores (Playing Actors' Company) and based on the screenplay written by Tom Stoppard, this play made a tour opening 15 libraries and doing theatre group exchange across the state of Minas Gerais and São Paulo. It also was part of Festival Cenas Curtas do Galpão Cine-Horto (Galpão Cine Horto Short Scenes Festival) - www.galpaocinehorto.com.br) as invited street scene.
