the beast, the moons

Synopsis

Strongly based on the verse “I do not obey for I am wet”, which Elza Soares sings in “Banho”, Elizabete Francisca intends to express, through gestures and sounds, a possible representation of the political geography of a non-submissive body.

It has become urgent to claim a place of resistance, turning possible weakness into as many arrows and potencies. The body as a political weapon, the last remnant of any experience, a scream that asserts an individuality, in reconciliation with their identity and sexuality: from the sex to the head, from the head to the cosmos, from the cosmos to the ground. A possible mantra to keep me off balance.
