Performative concert
CANCIONES PARA COCINAR
The renowned Chilean collective LASTESIS premieres in Chile its most recent performance, a theatrical concert that moves between cooking, songs, poems and feminist essays.
SONGS FOR COOKING is a feminist and interdisciplinary performance by colectivo LASTESIS. Taking the kitchen as an emblematic space in the domestic dimension linked to gender roles, the collective on stage articulates their own songs with theories, demands and historical and current denouncements of feminisms, such as the struggle for the right to abortion, the fight against domestic violence, the body as resistance, the right to migrate, among others.
Building a live sound and visual universe, the performers will move between songs, poems and essays through a multimedia staging.
