In the short story Meu tio o Iauaretê, Guimarães Rosa invites us to navigate in a narrative where a man, in isolation, upon receiving a visit from a stranger and feeling threatened, transmutes into a jaguar, devouring the visitor. It's about a strong, primitive, furious, wild, implacable, vengeful, enchanted nature.
In this performative study, Francisco and Francisca investigate unfinished gestures, tonic modulations, and presence activation within a fiction: we inhabit a forest of magical beings who are jaguars, who are people, who are jaguars, who are people. In this space of imagination, where audience and performers are very close to one another, we will die to the sound of cicadas.
