The authors, in this context, give voice to the river itself that narrares their saga before and after being taken by the toxic mud. To support the research, we took as a bade some theorists and critics among which are: Almeida (2020), Costa (2017), Coelho (2000), Quadros and Rosa (2008) Santaella (2003 end 2012), Zilberman (2013) end Simão (2013).
