EAT ME NOW!
Eat Me Now! - a full-length dance piece on stage, which is conceptualised, developed, produced and performed by a queer FINTA* team. Eat Me Now! addresses the objectification of lesbian sexuality and the sexualisation of the female perceived body. Five dancers with different movement backgrounds and bodies discuss patriarchal perspectives, question heteronormative narratives and aim to develop a 'lesbian gaze'. They empower their sexuality and question their own internalised mechanisms of self-objectification. The goal of the piece is not only to criticise patriarchal, heteronormative structures, but also to live other possibilities in our own art practice.
A Co-Production with Roxy Birsfelden and Gessnerallee Zürich by FLUX Crew and Merge Dance Collective.
