OBJECT_DESCRIPTION_EN :
The varina is part of a group of figures that are present in different ways in the scenography, always connecting the construction of the character with the identity of a territory, in this case the sandy beach by the sea. Small sandbags form part of the scenographic device and small heads have also been sculpted. Combining the bags and the heads, two more elements that make up the costume, the headscarf and the apron, complete the construction of the character on a very small scale. The text is given by the accentuation of the movement of the head and the movement through the scenic space is given by the oscillation of the bag.
It illustrates the metaphor of a real event that brings us closer to the sale of fish that takes place immediately after the nets have been dragged onto the sand in the fishing area, a subject that has been studied in the field, particularly in the city of Espinho.
OBJECT_CONTEXT_EN :
This creation was born as result of the relationship the company has established with the fishing community of Espinho.
