HOMEM COM H / LATIN BLOOD — THE BALLAD OF NEY MATOGROSSO (2025) – dir. Esmir Filho Ney Matogrosso is a legendary Brazilian artist known for his bold blend of music, dance, and theatrical performance. Rising to fame in the 1970s, he challenged gender norms and censorship during Brazil’s military dictatorship through his androgynous image and provocative art. Closely linked to the Tropicália movement, his work became a symbol of resistance and freedom. Ney Matogrosso has always refused to be confined by labels, maintaining relationships throughout his life with both men and women. In the 1980s, he witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of the AIDS crisis, personally caring for friends and partners who succumbed to the disease, including fellow singer Cazuza and the Dr. Marco de Maria, who was his partner for thirteen years. Now (2025), at 83, he continues to perform, solidifying his legacy as an icon of queer culture, gender expression, and artistic freedom in Latin America.

hate that i can't hang out in silence w online friends. sometimes when i'm not replying it's not in a "this conversation is over" way or in a "i'm too busy to reply" way. but in a "on all levels except physical my head is on your lap while we both silently scroll on our phones" way
