Emilia Tosar - (Argentina)
dejarse caer
SYNOPSIS
to let fall
There is a vital need to review the ways of linking, producing and reproducing that we are perpetuating, through the following questions: what do we exclude? What are we making invisible? What are the ways in which we inhabit different territories? What is the main bond that we create when we relate to others and to nature? Is our need for consumption inexhaustible? Why? What does ownership mean? Can land and women continue to be objects of consumption? What is the relationship between land and women to be treated as objects of consumption? What is the common pattern of behavior for devastation? Why so much abuse of natural resources and female bodies? What is the starting point of this linkage model? Perhaps through art I can find a sensitive and poetic way to narrate, elaborate and surround these questions. Main objective: To investigate the political and poetic link between the devastation of the territory nature and the territory of women’s bodies through artistic practices. Specific objectives: To analyze and investigate the notions of territory and devastation in the field of nature and in the field of feminism. Express these notions through artistic actions: site specific performance and video recording.

In 2021 I directed and interpreted, Prueba Piloto and reprised Repetir hasta disolver, at the 20th Estival Theater Festival. In 2020 I directed and performed for the first time, Repetir hasta disolver, together with Lucia Bonato and Suyai Otaño, winning the I.N.T. award for Performative Actions in virtual environments, this same work was presented at the Muestra de Arte Contemporáneo, ArteBa and Meridiano.
