"For us Capoeiristas, the Jogo do Capoeira transcends each occasion of its actual performance and
translates to every moment in the life. Capoeira is not a costume to be worn and taken off according to the situation or tournament. It is our own skin. We carry it all the time. We are cats, rats and monkeys, ferocious and gentle beasts in cavalcade through the many rodas of life. We are clowns, masters and slaves of the art who regain the freedom of ourselves only when cooked in the cauldron of Medea which is the Jogo in the Roda."
