Open Cu is a period of artistic residence with a final presentation at the end of the process. It is an invitation to investigate the production of knowledge from the anus, working through procedural tools of contemporary dance and performance art.

 

People will experience bodily practices aimed at reversing the frontality and dominance of the head in the human body, reflecting on how it affects our relations in the world. There will also be choreographic devices to friction the decentralization of power between bodies and space, and to exercise horizontality in decision making, problematizing the distribution of responsibility during collective movement. Open Cu is an opportunity for people to get to know other perspectives and possibilities of life, facing their own fragility and potentials.

 

This event is a consequence of the political brazillian piece "Macaquinhos" which presents the anus as the South of the body, it was widespread and fiercely attacked, sparking discussions about censorship, the fate of public funds and the role of art in society.

 

"The anus is a universal erogenous centre situated beyond the anatomical limits imposed by sexual difference, where the roles and registers appears as universally reversible (who has no anus?). It is a factory for the re-elaboration of the posthuman, countersexual body." - Paul B. Preciado
