Ms. Neuenschwander also draws from her country’s rich folk traditions. One of her best-known works — “I Wish Your Wish,” first presented in 2003 — is derived from a tradition popular among pilgrims to the Church of Nosso Senhor do Bonfim in Bahia, who bind ribbons to their wrists or the church’s front gate in the belief that when the ribbons fall off or disintegrate, their wishes will be granted.
