Luna Vitrolira is one of the most important voices in contemporary Brazilian literature. Her performance Em nome da Liberdade (In the name of freedom) is inspired by two of her books, the poetry collection Aquenda - O Amor Às Vezes É Isso [Aquenda - Sometimes love is like this] and the narrative poem Memória Tem Águas Espessas [Memory has dense waters]. In the first of these works, Vitrolira deals with the contradictions of love. She shows how it can be understood not only as an intimate connection, but also as a social force of oppression. Vitrolira addresses the physical, verbal and psychological violence exercised in the name of romantic love, exposing its effects on the bodies and lives of racialized women in particular. In the second book, she addresses the historical wounds caused by the erasure of black history in Brazil and the genealogical ruptures that accompany it. She makes tangible the power that lies in reconnecting with the past and ancestors, the same power that also permeates dreams of new futures rooted in desires for healing and freedom. Both works are closely linked to the author's personal history, rooted in the Zona da Mata of Pernambuco, an area characterized by sugar cane cultivation and colonial violence. Combining spoken word elements, song and spirituality, Vitrolira transforms her personal experiences into a collective ritual in this performance. In the Name of Freedom resists the various forms of silence imposed on Black women. Instead, she inscribes language as a place of healing, reconnection and continuity.
