“We went to Mexico with the idea of inviting Don Raul, a man of 93 years old, to dance at the 29th Sao Paulo Biennial in 2010.We wanted him to travel with us, to give dance lessons. I had seen him dancing on several occasions. A man of ballrooms, great dancer of popular rhythms. I went to look for him at the park but he wasn´t there, we wait for him a whole month.When he returned to the park, he told us that he had escaped from a hospital, he was a little sick. He danced all day long”
