Show Description
ANAL REVAMP is an artistic project that combines critical writing along with multimedia and live actions to explore the contributions of queer authors around the anal taboo and body politics with the purpose of opening the discussion around sexual dissidence from the south, in a world colonized by narratives from the north and plagued by hate crimes and discrimination against our LGBTQI+, non-binary, trans communities.
Based on corporal practices such as the prehispanic ritual enemas (in which mayan and aztecs used sacred and hallucinogen substances as pulque or salvia divinorum), the "osculum infame" (the black kiss with which witches sealed their pact with the devil), or the nefarious sin (which condemned sodomy as an unnatural act only comparable to bestiality), and the contributions of authors such as Paul B. Preciado (Anal Terror, 2009), Sejo Carrascosa and Javier Sáez (Por el Culo, 2011), Paco Vidarte (Marica Ethics, 2007), this performance aims to defie the historically stigma that had embodied for centuries some of the worst taboos in western societies, considering the bodily and sexual practices, and identities related to the anus as perverse and abject.
