SYNOPSIS

The performer tells that, in a museum, she finds a painting portraying a woman just like her, who stares at another painting portraying another woman identical to her ad infinitum. Constituted by small narrative fragments, spoken and sung in several languages, the work evokes looks, images and discussions concerning the female gender as filled with conventions, memories and stereotypes. The piece travels between dance, theatre, music and performance to edify a body constantly trespassed by echoes of women present in several cultures' memories. From Madame Bovary to Lady Macbeth, past Carmen Miranda, the work traces a dramaturgy of bodily transformation of a performer who draws and erases her own gender condition through other women's citations. As defined by the Bolivian critic Mijail Zapata, "body and feminism are the two materials that compose the chant of 'Mulher Sem Fim' ('Endless Woman')" (translated quote).
