CONSUELA DEL VALLE GRANDE is back! This time, the fictional character meets the Revolutionary leader Ernesto Che Guevara and confronts him. The icon of resistance against oppression and exploitation is appropriated, transformed and picked apart. With dilentantismo profesional and lots of music, Consuela sets out in search of a different kind of rebellion: feminist and self-empowering, powerful and tender. In a remix of history and the present, of myth and merchandise, the hope for a «soft revolution» emerges.
Thursday 19.9.2024, after the performance

As part of her piece development, Daniela Ruocco has exchanged ideas with many partners in order to gain as broad a view of her work and as diverse an input as possible. One of these people shares their perspective with the audience and invites them to a movement-focussed input before the performance.
The icon Che Guevara and the Cuban revolution from the perspective of a child indoctrinated in Cuban communism. Who constructs the icons? Who tells the story? Che Guevara transvestite or transvestite himself as Che Guevara? The transvesting of heroes is not a foolish venture, but a deeply political act.
Duration: 20 minutes
Language: German
Friday 20.9.2024, afterwards
