The project includes the exhibition of a series of videos that deal with the theme and hue of dark skin, jointly made by the artist Duncan Lindsay and the video editor Quito Ribeiro, and the show of a quartet composed of the musicians Arto Lindsay, Naná Vasconcelos, Pedro Sá and Pupillo. By means of the contrast among several sound layers, and among them and various skin textures shown in the videos, the narrative tries to create an environment of emergence and defloration of the Brazilian skin. This emergence, the appearance of a novelty, is represented in the videos by its protagonists: young girls from São Paulo of northeastern ancestry who, in their integration with the biggest city in Brazil, form a spectrum of the brunette color which the performance is interested to show —and which is of large interest to the new Brazil that everyday is coming of the innumerable displacements occurring within the nation. The presence of videos in scene does not mean they are the scenery of a show, but members of the band, placed on the stage in this condition. Thus, on the stage, the combination of video and sound also unfolds in the plane of contrasts between masculine and feminine skin. The light in the environment was designed to provide all the viewers with a sensation of being immersed in a sort of brunet bath.
