DE BOCA CHEIA

De Boca Cheia is a performance that includes two object-pieces, with similar structures, whose scenic device borrows the concept of diptych from the visual arts: a fold that contains two related images. The first object-piece focuses on a normative gestuality of discourse, namely political and, to a certain extent, masculine. The egg in the mouth implicitly contains a critique of some modes of communication, namely "empty" messages, said so as not to be understood; to talk with one's mouth full; to say and say nothing. The second object-piece addresses the normatization of a certain gestuality and feminine image constructed by the media.
