'Hello everyone, here I am, a doctor and professor of psychology, a sexual advisor and also your secret agent. Here I am, a woman with 17 professions.' That is how the Lady of Pacaembu commences her narrative about herself and Brazil, about food and housing, sex, morality and television. Once she was a cook for, and mistress of, the rich and pompous inhabitants of Pacaembu, one of the most exclusive neighbourhoods of Sao Paulo. Now she lives on the street, with no roof above her head. Physically she is in a bad way, but she has lost nothing of her spirituality, dignity and feeling for the absurd. She personifies her country, a One Woman Show without embarrassment in the theatre of the street without a stage.
