sobre a peça
{∞} o rio por aí se estendendo grande, fundo, calado que sempre {∞} por todas as semanas, e meses, e os anos – sem fazer conta do se-ir do viver {∞} no devagar depressa dos tempos {∞} e o rio-rio-rio, o rio – pondo perpétuo {∞} nessa água, que não pára, de longas beiras: e, eu, rio abaixo, rio a fora, rio a dentro – o rio {∞}
A peça é inspirada no conto homônimo de João Guimarães Rosa e é dedicada a Silvio Ferraz.

about the piece
{∞} there rolled the river, great, deep, and silent, always silent {∞} all through the weeks, and months, and years – he marked in no way the passing of his life {∞} with the slow swiftness of time {∞} the river-river-river, the river – flowing forever {∞} on the water that flows past its unending banks, let me go – down the river, away from the river, into the river – the river {∞}
The piece is inspired by the homonymous short story by João Guimarães Rosa and it is dedicated to Silvio Ferraz.
