From the negotiation within difference, a score emerges, in which body and voice cross and "touch". The performers decided to “start a collaborative journey/process” in the first stage of which, as it happens in any process of negotiation, they “lay the cards on the table”. That is, they consider their artistic object just the confrontation between two languages, those of a body and a voice.

Bárbara Fonseca – the “voice” – aims, as an artist, to establish new form of creation based on the notion of flaw, being it verbal, physical, written, or conceptual, “or being it a flaw from the perspective of the other in what is considered acceptable or correct.” Telma Santos – the “body” – explores the “various possibilities of ‘being’ and movement at the infinitesimal moments that precede making a decision, always constrained by social norms, by what is considered ‘acceptable’ or ‘correct’, by self-imposing and self-castration.” From these two situations of an attempt to build a dialogue emerges. This is a work that approaches the question of decision and unexpected creations by body and a voice in a constraint condition, where the flaw is part of the process A work in which we witness the difficulty of negotiation between two languages, two universes failing. An effort to analyze and understand, that the performers share with their audience.
