Antonio was raised in Brazil and came to the US in 1988 to study the performance of mime through Partners of the Americas. He's not only lived an immigrant's experience here in Maine but has also performed on this subject (and many others) through mime and storytelling, all around the world. Antonio's warmth and expressiveness appeal to a wide variety of audiences.

The Black Lives Matter movement is something Antonio heartily supports as a man of Afro-Latino heritage. He shares his own experiences in this interview. Antonio's belief is this:
"Stories beget understanding,
Understanding begets respect,
Respect begets justice,
Justice begets peace.
That is the power of story."
