THE ARTIST AND THE POWER OF THOUGHT (documentary film) reflects the relationship between balance and unbalance within the partiality of movement of the dancer Marcos Abranches. He oscillates his body to awaken from the emptiness and isolation caused by the imbalance. The lack of movement is felt by abandonment and rejection, understanding that relief lies in the support of love. Investigating movement of the body, a world without anguish, without pain, without despair. Search for life. It finds in dance the balance of the body and the beauty of the soul

You're well aware that each one of us has our own nature. That does not mean you can't ever fly.
Be persistent in your purpose and allow the eagle within you to give you different paths to your instincts. You can't fly like an eagle if you don't restlessly practice every day. Practice is what gives you knowledge, strength and comprehension, so you can make your dreams come true. Trust yourself and fly.
I am not an artist because of my disability. Or because I'm different. I'm on stage because I am capable. Because of the gift an Artistic God gave me.
