Amparo, SP, 1994.

Lives and works in Rio de Janeiro, RJ and São Paulo, SP.

Irmãs Brasil is a double existence of strange bodies, transvestite artists, born in a family of rodeo riders, in Amparo, in the interior of São Paulo, they were raised in this sexist “wilderness”. The first artistic references, the family: the father – a rodeo clown – and the mother – a drum queen.

The shock of the languages ​​of dance, theater and performance composes their poetics, like a snake language, the experimental practice of freedom that they build in their world creation processes, is born from the encounter between the body and the issues that are urgent. They work with operations of images and signs to create deviations in heteronormative and colonial technologies.

A constant state of listening and relationship accidents in the creation of meat preparation rituals that give access to the supernatural, to the performative actions that build as Sisters Brasil, start from the need to escape alive, to present ghosts and raptures.

Two presences assaulting a space-time. Devouring and being devoured. How to celebrate existences at risk? How to continue narrating the fictions of themselves and their healing processes? How to build strategies in the field of art to not die?

We want to be shot with Life and deliver our testimony;

that's about it...
