• Tiresia II : I was from the favela slums. I always knew my life would be different from other boys. But I didn't choose, not even that. It was there. It took a lot of work. It was my own war. I became a woman, then a whore. Little boys who become women, they become whores. Then a man tore out my eyes. Now I have a gift, so I give. I don't see the wrong in that. All of you look at me, thinking it's more, it's a great joy. But it's a celebration in despair. No one sees that. I can't decide. That's how it is. I decide nothing. I told you, I decide nothing. I'm just like that. Nothing I can do about it. I live with that. I accept it. I feel I speak the truth. The truth is a force.
