SIDE EFFECTS

“It is the irony of being a woman: at once hyper-visible when it comes to being
treated as the subservient sex class and invisible when it counts – when it comes to
being counted.”  Caroline Criado Perez

 

In this work, the choreographer explores the “side effects” of being a woman, whichare passed on from woman to woman, generation to generation, with all the things that she may inherit. By imposing her body to a demonstration of “disappearances” that she has practiced, endured and enjoyed from time to time, the performer claims the Italian stage as a place and the performance situation as a frame, in which she can restore her visibility, against a patriarchal society that constantly displaces, shrinks, silences and finally vanishes the female experience.
