Description:

At first, we will hear music to introduce the artist and when the artist stay in front of the children will say:

-Today I woke up felling confuse, stun... I don’t know what I could paint.

Then the Sadness appears and while she dances she says:

- Sadness is always missing something. She is soft as the sea; she is sweet as the rainy days.

And return to her colour spot.

Later, appears the Rage and while she dances she says:

-Rage burns in a bright red and she is furious as the fire which burns stronger and she is difficult to put out.

And return to her colour spot.

Then, appears the Calm and while she dances she says:

-The calm is quiet as the trees, she is light like a leaf moves by the wind.

And return to her colour spot.

Later the Happiness appears and while she dances she says:

-Happiness is contagious. She shines as the sun, she winkles as the stars.

And she returns to her spot.

Then, all the emotions dance together.

For last appears the love, and says:

-These are my emotions; sadness, rage, calm and happiness.

In this moment all the emotions paint something on the love’s belly, one by one, and they stay around the love. And the Love continues:

-All of them are different and they are all together here (and she points her belly while she paints herself a heart).

Finally, the artist takes out the colour papers and throws it to the air.
