Testosterona
Directed by Lorena Vega | Playwriting by Lorena Vega y Cristian Alarcón
- Argentina
- + 13 years
In this performance, writer and journalist Cristian Alarcón revisits his own case of hormone injection during the 1970s, as part of a "homosexual conversion" therapy.
Testosterone is a performance about masculinities, body, and identity, based on an investigation of cases of "homosexual conversion" through hormone injections during the 70s. Its trigger is the first-person testimony of Cristian Alarcón, director of Revista Anfibia and winner of the Alfaguara 2022 award for his novel Tercer paraíso, in which he for the first time reconstructs this part of his personal story.
Alarcón delves into his memory and his past to answer the question of the effects of testosterone injection on masculinity: how can a self-critical, reconstructed masculinity be thought of, as a possible future, a new paradise? The autobiographical, the journalistic investigation, and the scenic game are the paths that articulate this artistic piece in an assembly of triple order: sound, visual, and corporal.
