What does a Brazilian artist do when confronted with the vast beauty of the French landscape? A beauty which the French writer, Honore de Balzac, wrote exactly and precisely about. In particular, he wrote about this area, Sache, and human nature as bent by the structures of the local society’s "normality". In Bruce Lee in the Land of Balzac, Maria Thereza Alves introduces the "Other" removed but now replaced within the context – and there is no return.
