Avante Brasil,
Tatiana Blass's video
Piano Surdo (deaf piano) shows a pianist playing Chopin while, at the same time, a mixture of warm wax and vaseline is poured into the piano. As the wax in the piano cools down, it hardens, making it impossible for the keys to be played. I feel the struggle, in vain, and frustration against repressed speech.
