Micaela had gone to París2000

Dedicated to  the memory of Micaela Guyunusa and the ethnicity of Charrúa.

The genocide Charrúa happened in the year 1831, as a result of the military campaign undertaken by the  President of the Eastern Republic of Uruguay, Brigadier General Fructuoso Rivera. A group of women and men were saved from death and were taken captive. In 1832 François de Curel obtained the authorization of the Uruguayan government to transport to France four of these aboriginal charrúas, including Micaela Guyunusa. They landed at Saint Malo on May 7, 1833. They were studied as an object for anthropological studies and then exposed to public curiosity in Paris and in traveling fairs. Micaela had a daughter on September 20, 1833. She died in Lyon, at the Hotel-Dieu, on July 22, 1834, bed No. 9, at 9 p.m.  Nobody knows what happened to her little daughter.

The film is based in a photoperformance where Puppo embodied Micaela Guyunusa. With her body painted and a costume created specially for this performance, she walked through the dunes of the Rio de la Plata, place where the charruas used to live.  For this piece a photographer took 260 slides and they were shooted and later edited.
