COMPAÑÍA PABLO ROTEMBERG AR

La Wagner

Choreography: Pablo Rotemberg

Four powerful women, like Valkyries, straddle Wagner’s music to grapple with stereotypes and prejudices about femininity, violence, sexuality, eroticism and pornography. The production is nothing less than a celebration of the female body’s intelligence and political potential, a ceremony of empowerment in which the performers take on the task of challenging cultural body images and exposing their toxic effects on women. Drawing on the equally controversial music and life of one of the most famous composers, the production provokes a clash between universes while forcing performers and audience to descend into the chaotic rifts between banality and the sublime, the irreverent and the sacred.
