HOMO FEMINA (Live show at CYKLOPEN))

Overview

In a reduced space depoliticized of all visibility and legislation: she, the Fémina, lies. Stripped of all rights to exert her nature, in pursuit of her survival. Not included by him, the Homo, without visualization as a subject, hidden, omitted, overshadowed.
It occurs in every corner of the world, every day, at every hour, victim of invisibility and pedagogical exercise of Violence. A subtle Violence that also kills us.
This piece is an invitation to think ourselves as Women in all the aspects that our Femininity involves.
It is a piece to invite to perceive the first cell of Violence, which is not him, the HOMO, but the installed system that indoctrinates and annihilate us.
In memory of Ana Mendieta: Activist, feminist, exiled, and performer from Cuba. She died in 1985 at the age of 36, falling from the window of her 34th floor apartment after an argument with her husband, Carl Andre, the artist from the United States who was tried and acquitted. Mendieta’s work was mainly recognized in the scope of feminist art criticism.
She didn’t consider herself as feminist, but she was a woman who used her body and experiences as woman in her work. In fact, her early work is very related to her own examination of her identity as Latin, woman, and displaced person from her homeland.
