Marina Sena Performs Performative Set at Rock in Rio Featuring Doll Destruction

Singer Marina Sena performed a performative set at the Rock in Rio Sunset stage on Sunday, September 13, which featured a guest appearance by singer Céu. During the song Ouro de Tolo, a track about the end of a relationship, Sena tore the guts out of a rag doll. While a center left source noted that her ex boyfriend, Juliano Floss, posted a photo of the character Emília following the act, Sena told G1 that the performance was not a dig at her former partner. She described the moment as taking the viscera of the patriarchy and all men.

The performance included a dance troupe, masked performers, and a set that flirted with horror, including a stretcher and a scarecrow. Sena opened the show with Numa Ilha and Coisas Naturais, and later performed Varanda Suspensa and Malemolência with Céu. The event took place under intermittent drizzle, and some audience members were bothered by puddles and holes in the artificial grass. A center source highlighted the artistic nature of the show, describing the staging as something for the public to contemplate rather than participate in. Sena concluded her set with the songs Carnaval and Desmitificar.
