I AM YOUR EVA

 

“I am happy, I resist as a rock, intact. I’m the photo of your ancestors, those that you order by Internet. I’m the drink that is on the screen, and your desire but you cannot take it. I’m the bread of every day and the condom of every night” ​

 

 

performance about how do we see nudity depending on the context it’s in?

 

The performer uses the biblical figure Eve – Mother of all mothers, woman of all women, bearer of shame - to ask: In which way do I carry the weight of eve as a contemporary woman? How does the system today use the patron of morale as a tool of control? Where does this denaturalisation of nudity and commercialization of the body appear?

 

I am Your Eva takes you through the journey of a woman which exposes herself to become a grotesque fantasy, breaking the clichés of femininity and finally renouncing Eve and emerging into the primal power of the woman.
