Through music, storytelling, and performance, I invite the audience to reflect on how our everyday actions influence the quality of life in tropical regions around the world, especially in Brazil. Each section of the performance highlights the positive impact of self-made technologies in these emerging regions, celebrating autonomy, sustainability, and the strength of local economies.
