Residentie: Carolina Bianchi / Cara de Cavalo - Cadela Força - Capítulo II

About Cadela Força

In 2023, Carolina started her collective Cara de Cavalo Cadela Força (Bitch Strength) , a triptych about femicide, with the first part being Cadela Força - Capítulo 1: A noiva e o boa noite cinderela / Chapter 1: The Bride And The Good Night, Cinderella, in co-production with Frascati Producties. The performance caused a shockwave during its premiere at Avignon, was recently nominated for a Theo d'Or for most groundbreaking stage performance and has been selected for the Official Jury Selection of the Dutch Theatre Jury.

Chapter II: The Brotherhood

In September, Carolina Bianchi will conduct research for the second part of the trilogy during a residency at Frascati Productions. This part will delve into the complexity of 'masculinity pacts'. She will investigate the origins of brotherhood between men and their violent mutual codes that perpetuate rape and sexual violence as part of their vocabulary.

Carolina uses principles from contemporary theatre to articulate possible paths for this discussion. She creates a dialogue between dramaturgy and trauma, autobiography, possession and radical poetry, the origins of misogyny and a sexuality in crisis. The performance will premiere in May 2025 during the Kunstenfestivaldesarts in Brussels.
