chérie, chéri
performance
chérie, chéri was a solo, durational one-to-one performance that emerged from the initial research phase inspired by paul b. preciado’s writings. serving as the inaugural installment of the larger project the importance of being paul b. preciado, this performance drew primarily from preciado’s works “contra-sexual manifesto” and “testo junkie.” it aimed to provoke reflection on the nuanced spaces occupied by genders and sexualities that diverge from societal norms. presented at the libertine’s club “mise en scène,” it provided an evocative backdrop for the exploration of these themes.
chérie, chéri was considered one of the top ten shows of the year by journalist cláudia galhós/jornal expresso.
