Mistermissmissmister
A performative project based on the erotic imaginary. Questioning the asymmetries that regulate the social identities and the definitions of male/female, Mistermissmissmister means to cause strong emotions in the viewer by confronting him/her with characters whose bodies are extremely exposed and that show a very obvious gender/sexual ambiguity.
Artistic Direction: Ana Borralho & João Galante. Performers: Ana Borralho, João Galante and Miguel Moreira. Make-up artist: Jorge Bragada
Co-production: Centro Cultural de Belém, Eira, wid.lov, casabranca a.c.
Thanks to: alkantara, Cristina Piedade, David Gueniot, Eira, Filipa Francisco, Helena Batista, Miguel Abreu, Olho, Patricia Leal, Rui Viana, and Vítor Rua.
