Marlon

“The subject of this show is desire. Sexual desire, but also desire in general, desire for life. A really powerful desire which alienates, frustrates. Marlon Brando is the embodiment of this. It is also a pretext for talking about sexuality, especially my own. The background, ultimately the context for this solo, is this dichotomy, this contradiction which I feel between feminism and patriarchy, both equally oppressive in their own way:

– Feminism by the enormity of the task, this obligation to be an independent woman.

– Patriarchy by domination and alienation; but by emotional blackmail too, as I am susceptible to its old-fashioned charm. 

It is this rift which forms the setting for my text.
I feel the need to reclaim these contradictory attitudes which have marked and continue to mark my existence. Perhaps naïvely, responsively, absurdly at times. So? It is also this freedom that I want to recapture.
