In this performance, “The Airplane Samba” (Samba do Avião), by the world-known Brazilian bossa nova composer Tom Jobim, is sang verse by verse. Each verse is reversed by an audio system and played backwards. The performer then tries to sing the verses simulating the inversion. When the simulation of the inverted verse satisfies her, she inverts them again in order to recreate the song to its original form.
