Fortune telling by clitoris: AntiGonna performance

Book Now via Eventbrite, limited space

Spectators interact with the fortuneteller without seeing her face, dealing with inaccessible nudity and a combination of signs on a transparent barrier surface.

Superstitious mysticism, the effect of prohibition-temptation, the simultaneity of physical presence with someone else's nudity, and its pornographic (alienated) representation coexist in the performance. The inaccessible tactility and, at the same time, the minimum distance, the sexualized atmosphere, and at the same time, the cruel comedy of the game brings the visitor closer to that characteristic state when each ambiguous phrase of the fortuneteller resonates in his mind with the effect of revelation, revealing some previously inaccessible truth.

The glass covered with signs is a barrier between reason and the beyond. The general sexualization of what is happening causes a short-term illusion that this barrier can be overcome.

In this respect, the collapse of the illusion becomes a liberating moment when the libidinal aspect of mystical belief appears before the eyes of the client-spectator-victim of deceit in a form alienated and, therefore, maximally manifested.
