“Ciranda” resignifies affective symbols of our country of origin.

As in a kaleedoscope, where you see repeated and organized images, it creates rhythm and movement.

For some, it's just a tangle of colors, flavors and smells.

For others, it accesses memories full of stories and 'saudade'.

*Ciranda is the name of a type of game that involves dancing, music and singing, very common throughout Brazil. The songs are composed of simple, repetitive and rhythmic texts.

*Saudade is described as a kind of melancholy yearning. Melancholy means sad, and yearning is a strong, persistent longing or desire, especially for something unattainable.
