This article is a tribute to the dancer, choreographer and researcher Eva Leitão Azevedo and strives to bring the reader closer to death and life, life lived and life felt, remembering the human being in nature, in unison with the vodun culture, which the honoured woman researched. Through narration and the poetics of the writen word, the text proposes various approaches and complementarities between the life cycles of the natural world and those of the human world, and explores an important triad of vital motricity: experience, narration and interpretation, which, in its development, weaves a world view, yet unfolds into new possibilities, possibly more balanced for the maintenance of life and biodiversity.
