¡Oh Eduarda!, 2019

After reading the children’s story La Jaulita Dorada by Eduarda Mansilla, ¡Oh Eduarda! composes the dialogue between two sisters, who imagine oniric micro-stories and situations around the idea of homeness. The performance presents a fantastic experience within that domestic sanctuary, where the sisters travel, dream and cross the threshold that separates the public from the private to confess the fear of darkness, of the deformed, of the lack of roots and their desire to be always together.

Fragments of Mansilla’s story and biography intermingle in the performance, associating the voices of the sisters with those of Eduarda, the domestic space with the act of writing, the temporality of Eduarda’s life with the sisters’ childhood memories. Weaving those elements, ¡Oh Eduarda! builds a hypersensitive universe, where objects and animals have voices and memories.

The performance explores the complex cross-link of the notions of displacement, identity, affectivity and homeness.
