Description:
A Machine For Roles: The Metaphore for the human Kind
A Film By Sara Delabella
The intent of the performance is to recreate a visual metaphore of the life with two male to female transgender individuals. In this work they represent the return to the primary complete condition of the androgyny.
This type of humanity is looking for an extreme freedom through the knowledge of sexuality and the transgressions and perversions that are part of human reality.
A bench works as a pedestal for two TG girls that become living and human sculputre.
The clothes of one girl are completely black and the other's clothes are completely white. The black and white clothing represent the good and bad that emphasizes the roles we play.
When the action starts, ever performer has a red apple in their hand which represents "how" for Eva, the knowledge. This must remind the birth of a human's gender and how the two people are ready to start to act in the world of experiance.
At the beginning of every act, the two performers are immovable. Later they look for the best position to feel more comfortable in the space. This is a metaphore for finding one's own place in the world.
The display represents the structure of the family and is divided into 5 sections. Every part is the space belonging to one member of the family. In the top position of the case, the divisions are like a triptych and the couple will find their own space at the ends of this cabinet.
The space in the middle represents the union of these two parts or God, the source of a union.
After some time, their positions change bacause everyone during their own lives have the necessity to experiment with every role.
Because of this, they go to occupy the space of the child to satisfy the necessity of a regressive moment. They switch positions also because they want to experiment with the male and female roles and the roles of good and evil.
After this we see that they close thier eyes: They "die" because when the experimentation finishes they have completed the scope of this life.
