At the age of 44, Jesus returned! Every day, at 4:40 p.m., the performer dressed like Jesus, took photographs, and wrote daily. The apparitions took place over the 366 days, between 06/28/2023 and 06/27/2024, with residence in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and transits to other Brazilian cities.

Ricarda's first Jesus, at the age of 33, lived in the first colonial capital of Brazil: Salvador. The second one, at the age of 44, lived in the second colonial capital - the historical Jesus being a colonized person of the Roman Empire. In the spiral of transtemporalities, Ricarda's Jesus returned in a non-binary body, refused the cross and sacrifices, lived life, wandered between cities, and contexts, studied, wrote, traveled, enjoyed the arts and pleasures of body and spirit. Now, Ricarda writes from the archives of images and texts – a fabulation. 

Gospel according to Ricarda: Jesus updates by the paths of performance is the provisional title of the doctoral research in progress in the Performing Arts Graduate Program at UFRJ, under the guidance of Eleonora Fabião. The thesis is expected to be completed in 2027, with the publication of the book of the same name.
