Ajariot – Performing Arts Collective
Fall 2018

A cataclysm has devastated the planet; the women are perished, and a masculine oligarchy has risen. The male inhabitants create bio cyborgs with feminine features suited to their sexual pleasure and to the reproduction and generation of only male foetuses. 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 recall 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 I?
A multidisciplinary and trans disciplinary performance that investigates and brings together the themes of Artificial Intelligence with contemporary feminist theories.
