Carte Blanche

I hope you have your pass, we are entering patriarchal territory, or have you been kindly invited by someone? You're going to have to grit your teeth a bit at rehearsal, then it'll all be fine, you should just do a female solo – here's a little masterclass with Beuys (perfect master) and Ariadne auf Naxos (perfect victim) and everything will be sensational!

"Le Gay Printemps, short cut geraniums stage version", is a garden, is a sound piece collage proposed as a temporal breach out of oppressions and imposed norms.
Here poetry, in its experimental dimension, is a form of resistance a place to take shelter that belong to new spaces and other possibilities of being.

In her audio performance "Essay On Distance", Franziska Bruecker explores distance as a protective mechanism and as a way of thinking about the female body as it is read on the music stage. Every body on stage is exposed to gazes, but not everyone deals with this experience in the same way, and not every body is exposed to the same gazes. "Essay On Distance" plays with the gaze and its power, using its ambivalence as a driving force.

The performance "Bitch Pose" examines the influence of the male gaze on the female body. With "Bitch Pose", Naira Ramos aims to challenge the western ideal of beauty and regain control over one's own body. Her performance is a radical response to the social pressures placed on the female body and calls for a redefinition of traditional notions of femininity and beauty.

Singing is ugly. Singing is exhausting. Singing is close. Singing is physical. I disperse from my head into my body. I become many. All my friends. All the variations of myself. My chorus pedal. My overdrive. The printer. The office carpet. Sonia Solo and the Sexist Shit Medley are back! This time as part of Salon Outsight and "Women on stage - looks and views".
