In this performance, Hugo Faz presents themself fully painted in the vibrant colors of the Brazilian flag — dancing joyously to the rhythms of a traditional carnival song. “Oh make way, for I want to pass”.
The act begins with a celebration of freedom, expression, and national pride, evoking Brazil’s cultural exuberance and the unity experienced during carnival and reflecting a liberated self, resonating with the collective joy Brazilians find in their identity and sovereignty.
However, this joy is disrupted when the 𝕏 logo is painted over the artist’s body in violent strokes. Each mark strips away the colors that symbolize freedom, nullifying self expression, until the artist is fully engulfed in black paint. The lively, celebratory spirit is smothered, leaving behind a figure overcome by the forces of suppression and control. 0 reply
