In the performance ... And Call Me Antonia, the authors thematise through movement the figure of the female body in today’s pop culture, which is bereft of all personality and emotion and is represented only as an object of desire.
The performance explores the open territory between acting and life in the theatre, the no man’s land between personal and professional. With the mysterious text by Daniel Veronese, the ensemble of six performers, a director, two dramaturges and light, sound and space designers are opening the ambiguous space between performing and being, theatre and life.
The performance goes beyond the mere form of a concert by adopting the form of contemporary variety show, in which the authors refer to, with movement, visual, and textual elements, various literary and theoretical texts, which problematize gender and identity, (non)integration of the body in the universe of media images, failed realizations of the imperative of pleasure, acting out of the hyper-sexualised, "tamed" cross-dressing style.
