The body, in opposition to the system of language while ironically living it, speaks through organs: it plays with images, sounds, smells, textures, and mixtures. Everything reacts, absorbing and transpiring.
–Maria Jose Arjona
During the 4th Marrakech Biennial, Arjona created her first performance to directly engage gender politics. Stimulating a striptease that removes clothes without undressing, she examined the connotations of “femaleness” and the wishes of a desiring public. Manifest through an androgynous body, the work’s reactivation reveals identity in its assertion of fluidity.
Following extensive training by Arjona, Alejandro Penagos Díaz will adapt the work to his own body, history, and experience. Subverting the spectator’s eye, which is conditioned by conventional presentations of the female body, here the performer is always covered; clothes removed from the inside. This re-activation officially opens the Cabaret: a program of readings, re-activations, and interactive performances all located in the museum’s ground floor.
