Synopsis

"VIVA LA VULVA!" is a choreographic poem in which six women give voice, in reverse chronological order, to the stages their bodies go through throughout their lives. The lyrics speak plainly about the "shameful" things that happen in our bodies and present them as a normality to be celebrated. Beyond their subversive sincerity, Marius Aldea's lyrics can be seen as a libretto for Mihai Dobre's music. The sound universe of the performance, the bodies of the six actresses and their movements synchronize and complement each other with the set-installation, created by Andreea Săndulescu.

"LONG LIVE THE VULVA!" it's a show with a subject that's still uncomfortable for a lot of people. My goal is to present things as they are, but in a plastic, expressive, dynamic manner. The bet is to "dress up" the frankness of menstruation, childbirth, menopause in glitter. We all like kitsch...
