“Havia um homem que desejava todas as mulheres que encontrava. Um dia, apareceu uma feiticeira que despertou no homem um desejo incontrolável.
…
Ela aconselhou-o a não seguir a sua vontade, porque isso seria demasiado perigoso. Mas ele não lhe deu ouvidos.”
…
Esta exposição é baseada numa história que ouvimos sobre uma feiticeira e um homem. A história descreve um desejo impossível e uma alma em perigo. Presos entre dois mundos, ouvimos um último apelo:
…
“Volta Senhor, que não és desse mundo. Volta Senhor, que és deste mundo.”

There was a man who wanted every woman he saw. One day, a sorceress came, leading the man to an insane desire. She advised him not to pursue his will — it would be too dangerous to be with her.
But he did not listen.
This show is based on a story we have heard about a sorceress and a man. The story describes an impossible desire and a vanishing soul. Trapped between two worlds, we hear a final calling:
“Come back Sir, you’re not from that world / Please, come back Sir, you’re from this world”.
