Papeça

Papeça
Micha Raoutenfeld, Papeça (2024)

« Alone on stage, a being from elsewhere constructs and deconstructs themselves before our very eyes. In Moscow, shame reigns, silence rules and the stops are endless on a road taken a thousand times. Between dream and reality, here and there, this mysterious being tries to understand the codes that dictate their existence. A long-awaited quest that leads to the frontiers of Siberia where the ground rumbles and the fog annihilates unfolds. »

Papeça examines and dismantles the socialization of the body assigned female at birth through the form and codes of the Slavic folktale. Combining dance, theatre and music, Papeça is a trans initiatory journey that draws on myths and the intangible realms to explore intuition and the power of desire.
