On Friday, 29 September 2023, at 15:00, Francesca Lazzeri (dramaturg at Frascati) will moderate a conversation between Carolina Bianchi and Carolina Mendonça around their practices and the questions which arise when we address topics of violence through theatre and performance.

In the past years, both artists have been researching how to engage in a dialogue around sexual violence in private and public contexts through their performance and theatre practices. From a feminist perspective, they have been observing the traces of personal and collective experiences of violence in their bodies and  social interactions. Through their work, they try to envision support structures and practices of communication for the future that are vulnerable, empowering and fragile at the same time.

Preferring opacity to clarity and multiplicity to homogeneity, Bianchi and Mendonça have been exercising listening to the multitude and the dissonance of stories related to violence without having to rush to a conclusion or to reach an overall understanding. Their works Cadela Força and Zones of Resplendence are part of a larger attempt to open a conversation with the audience.
