THE WEATHERED BODY
Conceived more than ten years ago by actor and author Leo de Paula, the project proved to be the embryo of his ongoing research into the fat body and its aspects in the field of performing arts. In it, Leo addresses social, affective and subjective experiences from the perspective of bodily identity.

Le Circo de La Drag (2017)

“Le Circo de la Drag” is a research into popular Brazilian music in parallel with current events. It is also a way of making irony. In the recipe: a slice of delicacy, many doses of criticism and a pinch of cruelty. It's mockery. It's stupid. It's falling off a cliff and not taking yourself seriously. After all, there’s nothing tackier than taking yourself seriously.
