ASS KOMBAT

Circus

It’s an allegation for the elimination of gender, as a horizon.

But, at the same time, we vindicate the imposed category, the one of being a woman, because we know about the invisibility, the violence and the control exercised under that woman-label.

Presented by: PATRÍCIA PARDO

Company from Valencia (Spain) directed by the screnwriter
and clown Patrícia Pardo. In the framework of the Cia, she investigates the coexistence between traditional circus expression (the existing, inherited) and the contemporary one (imagined) using any artistic tool without responding to conservative parameters of theatre or circus.

The predominant techniques are gesture clown, live music and monologue-delirium, and depending on the show it includes aero or balances.

The goal: to parody the egocentrism, the weakness and the contradiction facing our misfortune, social inequality or heteropatriarchy.

The tour of the Company. Different cities and festivals in America and Europe, receiving the award for Best Performance at the International Summit of the Americas Festiva(2012, Argentina.)
