Based on the perception of life’s trajectory as a great source of dramaturgical, poetic and scenic creation; as well as the understanding of the performer's body on stage as a patchwork quilt stitched together by memories, experiences and emotions; this artistic research aims to unravel, unearth and map the patchwork-quilt body of the artist-researcher who stands for both subject and object of research. An excerpt from the childhood period in the actress's life trajectory is the base catalyst for the construction of a solo scenic experiment that explores narrative theater, showcasing her body-home-cage and sharing intimate accounts of the actress's personal
dramaturgy with the spectator. By transforming the rehearsal space into a portal directed towards the past (in which photographs and writings recorded within a logbook during rehearsals are true treasures of the creation process), the actress portrays childhood moments in a retreat to her own child self through the narration of portions of the Odyssey (the epic poem attributed to Homer), conveying aspects that influence her performing body today, such as motherhood and blackness. In the crossroads between the girl and the woman, the myth. As dramaturgy of life and the performing body exert on each other, thereby boosting creation processes.
