HOMO FEMINA

In a confined space devoid of visibility and legislation: lies the Feminine. Stripped of all rights to exercise her nature, in pursuit of survival. Uncontained in the Homo, unseen as a subject, hidden, omitted.

It happens in every corner of the world, every day, at all hours, a victim of invisibility and the pedagogical exercise of violence. A subtle violence that also kills us.

This piece is an invitation to reflect on ourselves as women in all that encompasses our femininity and to identify the first cell of violence, which is not the HOMO but the system that indoctrinates and annihilates us.

Discover the striking and diverse experience of Homo Femina at the Fringe Festival!

Immerse yourself in a world of artistic expression and feminist empowerment at this boundary-pushing festival that celebrates diversity and amplifies minority voices. Homo Femina is much more than a dance performance – it is a powerful testament to the struggle and resilience of women.

Through poignant and thought-provoking imagery, we explore a range of issues that women face in today's society. From oppression to reclaiming identity, Homo Femina uses dance as a universal language to address topics that resonate with everyone.

Inspired by the legacy of Cuban painter and feminist Ana Mendieta, Homo Femina pays homage to her courage and her fight for gender equality. Ana Mendieta was not only a prominent feminist activist in the United States, but she also experienced the painful exile from her homeland, Cuba, and met a tragic end in her life. Her story compels us to reflect on the barriers that women encounter and the significance of artistic expression as a form of resistance and healing.

This performance is a celebration of diversity and inclusivity, where the voices of all women are heard and valued. Homo Femina invites you to witness the strength and beauty of feminist dance in all its magnificence.
