Mina- song of myself (solo)

MINA - song of myself, is a takeover. It is MINA in a solo version where I affirm and perpetuate with my body, the feminist activism, gained during the process of research and creation of the original piece. As Shahd Wadi says, MINA is no longer just an artistic piece, it is a collective. MINA-song of myself, hangs on the feet of thousands of other women in a collective millennial flow. It is an event celebrating all first names, all surnames, all existences, even those that were not directly part of me.
The premise for the choreographic construction of this solo comes from the recollection and re-signification of some of the material explored in the piece MINA, by me and the performers and co-creators, Aurora Pinho, Elizabete Francisca, Francisca Manuel, Joana Castro, Joana Levi, Lula Pena, Mafalda Oliveira, Shahd Wadi, Tita Maravilha, Thamiris Carvalho and Xana Novais. In Mina's initial process, they already established phantasmatic interactions with the lives and works of many other women. Now it is from them that I reinvent this other place made of layers and multitudes. Everything happens in my body, resistant and in continuous movement.
