PERFORMANCE
Multimedia Performance by Terrorismo Teatral Migrante
From our place of whoresons, of colonization’s putative children, we fictionalize landmarks which seem to be from the past, bringing to the stage an orgy of colonial and capitalist obscenities.
Through installations, audiovisual material and imaginatively playing roles of “savages” in eternal captivity making imposed “shows”, we reveal deplorable historical information performing a psychomagic ritual of revenge and liberation on their behalf, while using porn-poetry to narrate the aggressions from the different industries to the lands in a porn time capsule which seems to go on in an endless loop.

Multimedia Performance by Terrorismo Teatral Migrante
This performance was created as an explicit protest against the Humboldt Forum Project, Berlin, and presented in an event at Humboldt Box in January 2018. After a few months, to present it again in Brussels, we´ve modified it to do it–in general–about Museums that profit with looted art. It can be adapted to different cities adjusting its content depending on the context of the place where it’s presented.

Taboos: Those things we just don’t talk about.
Instalation / Performance
By displaying his “SEXHIBITIONISM” and sharing some of his experiences and visions in topics like prostitution, incest, pedophilia, drugs, fetishism, love - among other very natural human activities, preferences and instincts, which by being judged and repressed they turn into social diseases -, the artist, therapist and sex worker Jorge Benavides invites us to rethink certain concepts and talk openly about our taboos.
SEXHIBITIONISM is an experimental exercise of honesty. Conceived for the exhibition Instintos Distintos at GlogauAir Berlin, June 2016, it was presented there as installation/performance followed by a group talk about Sex and Taboos. The original idea was to perform, for a mainly heterosexual crowd, some exhibitionist scene which can be very common in a gay sex-club but quite shocking when placed in an art gallery, with the intention of inciting a discussion about those things we normally just don’t talk about. Very positive and thankful responses and feedback from the public inspired Jorge to do it again, this time adapted and oriented to a queerer crowd, which may probably be more open to talk about certain topics, but these still need to be rethought, openly expressed and discussed; and the Salon Program at Village Berlin is a perfect occasion to do so.
