    O TALHO NA CMESMIE Os milênios pertencem a ordenações soberanas. Conversas de fim de século geralmente tratam de momentos críticos e decisões irrevogáveis. As de agora, sopram prováveis e variados holocaustos, mas também diversas possibilidades de redenção. Clamam por urgências ecológicas, pela atenção com a saúde pessoal e do planeta; redimensionam questões nacionais, uma vez que as novas tecnologias de informação estão desenhando um mundo por conhecer. Qual o figurino indicado para uma troca de milênio? O motor do ato, aqui, se impele dos traços nascidos nos últimos anos deste 1900, mas não marcha nas hostes milenaristas (como se comportar perante os três zeros das datas que serão cabeçalhos de nossa futura correspondência? Zero-pai, zero-filho, zero-espírito santo, como diz Peter Sloterdijk?). Nem se abriga nas dobras amigáveis de uma historiografia oficial, cronológica na sua seqüência linear. Primeiro, porque ela não está sequer escrita. E depois, singrar outras faces em paisagens conhecidas é o que abre o breu. Na ausência de pernas, cavalgaremos com a ciência. Ciência: do que se desprende o nosso cotidiano. Às vezes, nem atentamos para sua presença. Distraídos, continuamos pensando que se trata de exclusividade de laboratório de cientista. Mas não. Escolher uma hipótese (por que uma, aquela, e não qualquer outra?), testá-la indutivamente e, em seguida, elaborar uma dedução a respeito das conclusões obtidas é o que cada um de nós faz a cada dia quando, por exemplo, abre a janela e escolhe com que roupa vai sair de casa. O ponto de partida, a idéia básica do trabalho, se centra num fenômeno tipicamente brasileiro conhecido por Ballet Stagium.
