It will start on Wednesday September 8th the international section of the Campania Theater Festival Marina Otero: at 21.00 pm, at the theatre politeama of Naples, with a repeat on the 9th at the same time, will debut in Italy "fuck me".
The show by the Argentine performer and director explores the details that can be preserved through the body, an element of purification to transform one's ego into an act of abandonment and gift towards the other. The "signs" of existence, the changes that the years produce in each of us, become documentary theater, fiction, dance, performance, improvisation, representation.
“The show “Fuck me” is the third chapter of the Remember to live trilogy, an ongoing project in which I myself am the object of research that develops around the theme of the passage of time. Above all, I like people talking about me… And if I don’t talk about it, who will?” – she explains Marina Otero – Who will shape my narcissistic cause without seeing a penny? What body will let itself be involved in telling my life, until death? Mine alone. All my work consists of a sort of return to childhood, in meeting the child I was, who was silent because she did not know how to be, how to feel at ease.
I found myself practicing choreography with my cousins. In my creations I am interested in finding an identity between author, narrator and protagonist, which becomes not only a narcissistic act, but also a sacrifice offered to the audience. I try to go against comfort, both mine and that of the viewer, to expose the dark areas – to say or do something that makes them uncomfortable. We all hide so as not to feel the wounds. We continue the race without knowing where we are going.
We run so as not to feel the wounds. Although my works start from biography, there is no pact of truth with biography, since in some way “remembering is retouching”. But there is a pact with my memory: the images eroded by time poeticize and deform “the real”. Memory is the source of my choreographic material. How to name absence? When words are not enough, the body fills. The work is placed in that space between body and word, between what is there and what is missing, between what we perceive consciously and what is incomprehensible”.
The performers are Augusto Chiappe, Cristian Vega, Fred Raposo, Juan Francisco Lopez Bubica, Miguel Valdivieso and Marina Otero herself. Original music by Julian Rodriguez Rona.
