Project

Indoeuropeu de cops – Performance

The project she will be working on in Andorra is essentially an interdisciplinary montage of live videopoetry, based on her unpublished collection of poems Indoeuropeu de cops. This book, in the form of lyrical poetry, deals with historical violence against women, through fictional characters such as Lilith, Daphne, Scheherazade and Ellen Ripley, and women from history (scientists and literary figures) such as Theano of Crotone, Juana Inés de la Cruz and Gloria Fuertes, as well as one of the most terrible cases of femicide in Spain: Ana Orantes.

For the final product, the performance, she will work with a selection of poems, fitting them to the images I will create and other copyright-free ones. My project will combine poetry reading, live music and projected images on stage.
