Furo Lento
"Furo Lento" is a dystopian Western that suggests a non-optimistic view of the future. In this eco-fiction, Rui Paixão uses physical theater and circus to create a performance about the planet's future uninhabitability, the obscene idea of space colonization, and the devastating human impact on nature.
