➣ Visions
A cataclysm has devastated the planet; women have disappeared and there is a male oligarchy that creates bio cyborgs with feminine features suited to their sexual pleasure and to the reproduction and generation of only male fetuses. Every fifteen years their bodies are dismantled and reassembled and their minds and memories are reset. One of them has a bug that allows her to remember the memories of her previous life. She doesn’t recognize herself in the new body and starts asking herself questions. Who am I? What am ? A multidisciplinary and trans disciplinary performance that investigates and brings together the themes of Artificial Intelligence with contemporary feminist theories.
