* Description: "A Dança Invisível do Adeus" is a work of poetic prose and intimate narrative that traces the emotional and existential journey of Marina, a woman in a continuous process of self-knowledge, renunciation, and reconstruction. Through significant episodes of her life, recounted with lyrical and emotional intensity, the work weaves together fragments of diaries, memories, and dialogued scenes that expose experiences of symbolic and physical violence, family oppression, abusive romantic relationships, sexual discoveries, losses, grief, and professional ruptures.

The narrative is structured in a non-linear and fragmented way, alluding to the flow of memory and consciousness. From adolescence marked by a controlling relationship with her boyfriend and the repression of her mother, through casual relationships, disillusionment, new beginnings, and sincere friendships, to moments of emotional climax such as mourning the death of her friend, the end of a same-sex relationship, and the abortion of an unplanned pregnancy, Marina walks between pain and liberation. The work expresses, with sensitivity, the difficult art of giving up as an act of self-love.

Marina emerges as a symbol of silent resistance and transformation: sometimes fragile, sometimes determined, she learns to break with vicious cycles, with guilt, and with the imposed models of success and happiness. Renunciations become powerful instruments of freedom. Each chapter, poem, or diary entry portrays a particular farewell dance – a metaphor for the intimate movements of self-affirmation and escape from spaces that imprison the being.
