Regina Parra (1984, São Paulo, SP) is showing Pagã at Pina Estação, her first solo show at the museum.

She uses the novel The Passion According to G.H., by Clarice Lispector, as a reference to tell, in nine scenes, the life of a woman who gives up her comfortable life in search of pleasure and pain. 

In an article about Pagã published in the newspaper Folha de S.Paulo, journalist João Perassolo writes: "The visitor takes an active role since he goes through the exhibition space in an order suggested by the artist as if he were following the unfolding of a play. He will not, however, be confronted with paintings on the walls, as in traditional art exhibitions, but rather with large paintings scattered around the room, connected by themes. Right at the entrance, for example, there are paintings of mythological figures of satyrs with their penises erect, as if to indicate the eroticism that pervades the whole show.

Pagã is on show until August 13 at Pina Estação.
