Urban performance/intervention carried out in trees located in central regions of cities. The action consists of weaving tens of meters of white thread around the trunk and branches. After the construction of this web, the performer spends about eight hours on the tree.

Hanging between the branches is a bag made of the same thread, containing fruit, a music player, and a book — elements that can be used or not during the stay. The action ends at sunset, when the performer descends from the tree and the web remains in the landscape, marking the trace of the action.
This break in urban routine provokes different reactions in passers-by, who can approach, interact, or simply observe. The gesture opens a space for fabulation and speculation about the presence of the threads and the figure who wove them, inferring other ways of perceiving the city.

​

Hominidae was carried out in the Brazilian cities of Uberlandia, Curitiba, Maceió, São Paulo, and Natal. The performance also composed the last chapter of the artist's master's dissertation, defended in the Dance Graduate Program at UFBA, in Salvador, under the title: Art as a mode of existence: a plot between philosophical-artistic practices, body care, and procedures in contemporary dance.
