"Partimos Pedra" is a text created collectively by the workshop ISTO NÃO É UMA ÓPERA students. We work, and that is our purpose. We do not think about the future or the present because we work. Do we think? Only during moments of pause do we question our true existence. But we never conclude; we have little rest time. We do not function without each other. We are an assembly line. We are tougher than the stone itself. When something does not work, we solve it; when we cannot find a solution, we start over. With backpacks on our shoulders, we move forward.
