This video performance questions our idea of masculinity, using dissidents and groups to give it new meaning.
This South American audiovisual piece, directed by Ernesto Orellana for the Teatro SUR performing arts platform, was created during April and May 2021, right in the middle of the pandemic. This group video performance was created by “my trans, non-binary, gay and lesbian mates, and calls on them to share their affection, experiences, memories, archives and spells”, says the director about the creation.
The journey through the masculinities in this group, as well as through the resistance to the sex-genders automatically assigned by heterosexual political regimes, is expressed though dissident, ambiguous and minority masculinities “that confront a dominant masculinity and the established order that represses, punishes and kills them”, says Ernesto Orellana.
“We’re infected by what distracts us, because our dissent is like tentacles and we want to carry on being part of a group”, he says about La masculinidad no es propiedad de los hombres.
