The CADELA FORÇA Trilogy. Chapter 1: The Bride and The Goodnight Cinderella
The first chapter of the trilogy CADELA FORÇA, by the Brazilian director and author Carolina Bianchi, transits through layers of temporalities.
About The CADELA FORÇA Trilogy. Chapter 1: The Bride and The Goodnight Cinderella
We are in a space where the present collapses with the past. Resurrecting a performance in an attempt to find clues to an enigma so difficult to name, of a memory so incomplete to touch. What is the void between slip and die? What does this sleeping body dream of? What happens when someone survives?
Disturbed by the news of the rape and death of an Italian artist Pippa Bacca in 2008 giving a performance related to the belief in human kindness, Bianchi began to weave a tapestry of stories that have in common narratives of rape followed by femicide. In a process of mirroring and confrontation Carolina puts her own body in a performative process of extreme vulnerability falling unconscious in the work at a point undefined. Launching confabulations about sexual violence and art history, her staging is a combination of different references from literature and painting, filled with musical mashups, with modes of delivery part Ted Talk, part choreography, part documentary and dreamscape. Together with her collective, Cara de Cavalo, she creates a journey into an abyss, a hole in the middle of the desert, a dive into a glass of a date rape drink - a descent into hell.
