On the occasion of Women’s Day on March 8, students reflect on the significance of the body as a biological or social category, as a vessel that carries the achievements of previous generations, and as a target of stereotypical perceptions. Through their personal experiences and testimonies, they create performance pieces that reflect their concerns and the need to bring to the surface the issue of gender as a determining factor for a “successful” adult social life.
Themes such as the restriction and control of the body, self-destruction, competition, and the inability to communicate emotions become the vehicle for discussing issues of identity, subjectivity, and equality. Finally, inspired by the book Animals and Women (collective), interesting experiments and correlations between feminist claims and animal rights advocacy are carried out.
