In her work, theatre maker Carolina Bianchi weaves together literary, pop-cultural and art-historical references, and incisively questioning the state of affairs. In the first part of her trilogy “Cadela Força” (“Bitch Strength”), Bianchi deals with the recent history of sexualised violence against women. In the process, she puts herself in a state of utmost vulnerability by taking knockout drops – called “Goodnight Cinderella” in Brazil and also used in Germany as a rape drug. While recounting the femicide of performance artist Pippa Bacca, Bianchi finally loses consciousness. Along with eight performers from her collective Cara de Cavalo from São Paulo, Bianchi explores what an unconscious body without memory can tell us while connecting to the reality of many survivors. Following its premiere at this year’s Festival d’Avignon, the new work can now be seen in Berlin.
“This all-too-real performance single-handedly jolted Avignon alive over the first week of the festival, turning Bianchi – an unknown, Amsterdam-based artist – into a sensation at the event.” Laura Cappelle, The New York Times, July 12, 2023
