As a part of project M3 - Man Male Masculine focusing on current visions on masculinities accross gender spectrum through various cultural and educational activities, emerging performing artists will be presenting
Constant Acts of Disobeying.
About the performance:
Constant Acts of Disobeying: The Argentinian anthropologist –one of the most influential intellectuals in Latin America, Rita Segato– reflects on recent cases of violence against women and sexual non-conformism in Chile, and explains the opportunities that feminism gives men to dismantle what she calls the “mandate of masculinity”! The feminist movement is helping men liberate themselves!
For way too long women across the globe have been furious, angry and yet still hopeful about being a woman. A constant connundrum of how they fit into the current scheme of things – a society that’s sturggling to break away from the given as also the one that presents hope and a safe future for what they call “the second sex”.
This collaboration is an attempt to reflect on the censorship of a woman and a man's body, thoughts and voice. It also plans to investigate the toxic moral norms that men are subjected to under the name of responsibilities. It aims to question our relationships with the other gender, our sexuality and our ways of life! How can the “mandate of masculinity” be taken down? What role does the feminist movement play in this struggle? How do we meet each other half way through? How do we bridge this gap? Some of these questions have been troubling us across cultures and different sections of the society. Our languages and food may change but some of our narratives in the society and the culture by large still remain the same. This performance is a collaborative investigation into facilitating this dialogue and will be created with live physical performances as well as a small online viewing. Designed along the narratives of women and men who broke their ways and rebelled against what was expected of them this performative exploration looks at the
“Constant Acts of Disobeying” devised to take the feminist movement ahead since it is far from over.
