Synopsis
São Paulo-born Puma mixes the martial art of Capoeira with Vogue dancing and identifies parallels between the two movement styles through a shared philosophy built on resistance and rebellion.. Through her experiences as a black trans woman, Puma found in both art forms a sense of defiance – capoeira as a form of resistance from slavery, and voguing as a celebration of queer identities – each with their origins in the search for freedom.
