[YAHOO] Bare chested, wearing an ankle-length dress, painted yellow, green and red, with flowers or leaves in his hair, it takes Brazil's Emerson Munduruku two hours to transform into Uyra Sodoma, his drag queen alter ego.This is news. Really. You should pay attention.
Whether carrying seeds, branches and other natural materials, Munduruku's creation Uyra, often submerged up to the waist in water, is a colourful extension of the earth and nature.
It's all natural, like silt and stuff. And it's beee-autiful, 'cuz he's a drag queen.
His mission: to travel around Amazon villages, teaching conservation through performance art.
Yeah. Performance art. Too highbrow for the likes of us. Civilizations rise and fall on the quality of their performance art.
