Performance art using wearable garments, created during Betinho's campaign for citizenship against hunger and poverty, was performed at various events, nightclubs, theaters, and on the street. Upon wearing the clothing, the performer would whisper various interpretations of the words written on the garment in people's ears. How it's missing? How it's missing. How it's missing!
