The radio program was played to a live audience at Cafofo Couve-Flor in the early hours of November 6, 2011.

Intro – Elisabete Finger (read by Neto Machado)

Cafofo Couve-Flor – 20MIN.MOV

“Hello everyone who is at Cafofo Couve-Flor tonight. I'm going to do a brief introduction of the format mechanism that I proposed to interview Cristiane Bouger for the 20MIN.MOV.

I was with Cris in New York during the months of April and May this year,

and among so many other creative exchanges, we had several very interesting conversations about influences, references, and inspiration to create, perform, make art, and so on. In one of these days in New York, Cris proudly showed me a part of her website named ‘behind the bio’; it was a link imbued on the page of  her biography. I was surprised and curious when I saw in this link a selection of record covers that included Patti Smith, Velvet Underground, Cyndi Lauper, Carmem Miranda, and also Roberto Carlos, Menudo, and

A Turma do Balão Mágico. Cris and I share an interest and common passion for radio broadcasting, so I decided to ask her to prepare a ‘radio program’  for us. She should  revisit her work through the selected songs in a way we could listen to her play-list. Knowing Cris's work, I also made a list of ‘themes’ or recurrent subjects of her practice (or what I see as recurrent) and asked her

to comment on these ‘themes’, connecting them to her play-list.

The ‘themes’ were:

— Sensuality, feminine, and feminism;

— Punk movement, the thinking behind the movement and how it influenced/influences her;

— Poetry: What is she interested in writing about? How does she write and what kind of space these texts inhabit in her performance?;

— Pop (the funny mix of Menudo, Cyndi Lauper, Marisa Monte, Blitz, Balão Mágico, and Roberto Carlos)

— How does she articulate them with other erudite influences?

— Art and politics – this aspect is strongly present in Red 140, Displacement Pills, Sensuality in (and) America, and Hunger Follies.

— Personal relationships (romantic ones).

How these influences become creative impulse, feed her, and become a creative body inside her work?

I was immensely happy and felt very emotional to listen to this ‘Behind the Bio’  broadcasting a bit ago, which Cris sent by email from New York. I'm writing from Berlin, and you will listen to this introduction in Neto Machado's voice, in Curitiba. I'm thankful to the technology that made this encounter possible to happen; I want to thank the producers of this event tonight— Wellington Gutti, Cândida Monte, and Neto Machado; and my partners from Couve-Flor Minicomunidade Artística Mundial. Special thanks to Cristiane Bouger for embracing this task with such love and dedication, for giving us her voice, memories, and these precious songs that are part of her history, and, you will all see, are part of the history of many of us.” — Elisabete Finger
