As an artist my focus is putted on the fight against shame, that Patriarchal Society uses as a way to control the lives of individuals in our culture. I use the resources of multimedia and live performance to create an experience, that helps me spreading my speech, powerfully influenced by the texts of the Queer theory (Buttler, Segdwick, Preciado).
