I'M NOT WEIRD ANYMORE
Violeta Niebla
Alessandra García
From 11 Jun to 11 Jun 2015
SALA DE EXPOSICIONES SANTA INéS
Imagine a circle of chairs, sit down on one and wait for the others to take their seats. Things happen in this circle. Now is the time to observe and draw your own conclusions. Look at that girl who keeps falling down, over and over and over again. Listen to her voice, listen to her other voice. Now you can read her mind. We're giving you that power. That accident-prone girl is inviting you, as an individual within a group, to reflect on the reality that an emerging artist faces in the 21st century, surrounded by references, insecurities and social media. Everyone is ringed around the artist's ego, which translates into fear, "...because at your age, Sylvia Plath was already dead".
Written, directed and performed by Alessandra García and Violeta Niebla
Music: Paloma Peñarrubia and Luz Prado with the poetic voice of Violeta Niebla
