between repelling and sheltering

Project developed at the Center for Research in Scenography and Costume Design from Shed Cine Horto 2021. Where do I fit? What are the limits between the home, the city and the places that women can and should occupy? Can the city be shelter? At what point will she stop being a danger?

Between repelling and sheltering, where does it fit to be a woman in the city? it is a work that arose from investigations and discomforts shared between the members of the group about women, space and the city. Between repelling and seeking shelter, the female body resists in hostile urban spaces that communicate at all times that that is not its place, in shop windows and on sidewalks, the idea of a body-object that can be consumed, bought, plasticized always prevails.
