Henrique Moreira, La danza del cielo y la tierra, SM, 2025
This Silent Book is inspired by the ritual dance of "suspending the sky" from the Brazilian indigenous Krenak ethnicity, whose purpose is to restore harmony between humans and nature. Through his seemingly simple illustrations, Henrique Coser Moreira tells the story of alienated, isolated people who are prisoners of a polluted world. Thanks to nature, they regain their individuality and the joy of living, fostering camaraderie among themselves and uniting with nature, which is reborn along with them.
