The word
More beautiful

After a year of her father's death from ALS, a neurodegenerative disease that has as
one of the symptoms is the loss of the ability to speak, Maria Giulia Pinheiro launched a
lyrical performance in which he honors the words he could not say.
Using words pre-chosen by the audience, the poet-performer writes poems and tells the
story of how he learned to communicate without verbal language when his father lost his
ability to speak. 

A show that works the father figure and language, understanding the
need to symbolize the process of death as a base-creating power
ethics that propose a dip in the grieving process. In this moment of collective mourning
world becomes unavoidable to elaborate questions that address ethical and aesthetic themes that
embrace death not only in its literal but also symbolic sense – collective mourning.
