ARTISTIC INTENTIONS

The project “Trans*Performativity” proposes the intersection between artistic research and practice, digital and physical elements, the trans community and society, based on the premise of how to transpose our experience as trans people into a work with an artistic, cultural and social impact, where the movement subjectively represents processes of transformation and metamorphosis, the scenography proposes an innovative and safe space, the costumes weave individual and collective identity and the light design gives visibility to underrepresented issues, allowing the audience to perceive, understand and participate freely.

We live in a current context in which gender issues have been increasingly discussed, making minority communities, such as transgender people, more visible and understood by society, however there has also been an increase in hate speech, violence and misinformation in relation to them. In this way, we propose a unique project created by trans people with the support of trans and cis professionals in the sector and partner institutions, in order to establish a constant and strengthening dialogue between people of different genders, ethnicities and backgrounds, so that we can move towards a more fair, inclusive and tolerant world.

At the same time, we aspire to combat the loneliness generally felt by the trans community, by enabling various moments of joint creation and experience sharing, both personal and professional, so that we can establish meaningful and exemplary connections in the cultural field, while following ethical and sustainable principles that equally value our work.
