Veza Fernández | Chantal, the body is a text longing for perspective

In the organizer's words:

A living anatomical doll dissects itself with words in order to constantly renegotiate body boundaries: the unlikely interface between lesbian* word intimacies, colonial-patriarchal medical history and performance art.

With "Chantal, the body is a text longing for perspective", Viennese dance, voice and performance artist Veza Fernández presents an intimate anatomical spectacle that dissects the body in words and movement. Chantal is a prismatic figure, a living anatomical doll that emerges from the voices on stage. In impressive textual worlds, between sensuality, theory and humor, the performers radically reshape anatomical theater in a staging of the interior beyond patriarchal norms.
