My – Opera Act is a web-series consisting of five episodes in video art format showcasing new music from Brazilian pop band RadioMundi. Through a fictional adaptation, the series aims to strengthen a human-rights based discourse on topics relevant to the construction of an ethical narrative.

My, a sociologist, has a research project to analyze the existing social developments in third world countries caused by the economic influence of first world countries. She chooses the city of Salvador, Bahia as a case study to experience firsthand this reality while staying in the city. Upon arrival, My is faced with the paradox between a natural paradise and urban chaos, between "civilization" and "barbarism," and seeks answers through cultural experiences that expand her consciousness.*
