“The Sacrifice of Cassamba Becker” is a monologue written at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Cassamba Becker, double ‘s’ really, is a great impoverish actress and an inpeccable sodomite who has finally retired and takes a dump at some lost beach in Brazil as her home. It’s from there she watches the whales’ fluorescent fins and glimpses a more vast, sensual and illuminated world. If today the socio-political-cultural-sanitary crisis is deepening and the future of our ecosystems hangs by a thread, what happens when we seek to transgress times, spaces, purposes and dreams of our society? Is it still possible to imagine the future? “From dissatisfaction we’ll reach collective potentiality” once accurately said Dercy Gonçalves. Or Gramsci. Never mind. The present is not enough. Only rubbish saves.
