I’ll marry her, because conceiving myself in front of the mirror of my subjectivity challenges the compromise of the opposites that mark the tactics and strategies in the kiss between the self and the social. My body as a support in the daily decision in front of the gender models imposed by culture and the ineffable grip of chance.
The performance consists of singing Schubert’s Ave Maria as an act of marriage, dressed as a groom in a life-size projection and dressed as a bride with simultaneous movements.
