"…I see remains of memory, floating in a river
A river that may not exist
I see pieces of myself everywhere…"

Among lucidy and delirium. The dissonance not only occurs in songs where the musical notes are in  complete disharmony ,giving the impression of a gap, however, the dissonance also roams out of tune with the instincts, souls and minds. Inspired in the book Waltz N ˚6, by Nelson Rodrigues, I attempted to recreate my version of this monologue ,which was published in 1951, and it tells the story of Sônia 15 years old, schizophrenic, who was stabbed in the back, while playing the  Chopin Waltz N˚6, through memories she tries to uncover what happened. On the threshold between life and death,  she assembles the puzzle from her past. In the play there is a wide shadow of pedophilia, conflicts  of adolescence and decay of the society  all these fragmented elements reveals for herself  what is  unknown. In this photographic series I establish collections of mini narratives: documentary and conceptual. Visiting childhood scenarios and wandering through connections with my personal memoirs, fragile  material, leaving undefined the limit between story and fiction.

"…Who is Sônia?…and where is Sônia? Sônia is here, there, everywhere..."

Dissoniante is work not only about Sônia but a homage to the Marias, Brunas, Ritas, Sarahs,  Sabrinas, Pricillas, Lucianas, Josés, Rafaels and so forth.
