Belinda is hungry. Belinda is earthbound. Belinda is trapped inside a body that refuses to do what it is told. She is victim of her voracious appetites, her dreams, demons and desires. Belinda can’t breathe. And then one day she hears a voice calling. Words, gesture, masks and circus elements portray Belinda’s struggle, her journey of discovery, her battle to break free and fly.
