Ginoide by Cia. Baal.

Dates: March 19 to 25 and September 2 to 7, 2019

SYNOPSIS:

During the residency we will look to integrate into the body the concepts that we have been analyzing so far and see how they take shape within the choreography. This research process is nourished by the information obtained during 3 years in the laboratories that we have been directing around the construction of the gender.

When planning the project we found difficult to detach ourselves from all the information that is under our skin when we talk about gender, masculinity and femininity. We were filling in a space of questions about what the construction of gender means and how we can go further, concluding that, not only that we do want to talk about gender, but we are interested in analyzing the control systems behind it.

In this way, the research revolves around the question: What will be our identity in a world where (almost) everything is digital. How will personal relationships be built with this identity?
