About

Chrysalis is the process of growth, colour definition and sexual differentiation of butterflies. Inside the cocoon, during this process, colour explosions occur and it is the only time when they don’t move or move a little. Struggle, resistance and persistence are key words in this performance. The dialectics of this work is related to the demystification of gender categories, based on the existential issues of Nietzsche, Sartre and Goffman. The being as an individual, social being and the creation of new concepts that foster the discontinuity of human nature are issues that interest the creator to dwell in this piece. By analogy, bringing to the stage a polysemous aesthesia where circus technique, video and some fine arts experiences are used, in order to raise other meanings and new sensations in renewed enigmas.
