SO?!WHAT is a solo performance that combines choreographic, visual, and plastic arts. Ariadna Gironès dances through different physicalities while bending, distorting, and transforming her body with various layers that cover it in different ways. These layers are visible to the audience but symbolise what the character wants to hide, rejecting any notion of self-acceptance. The piece poses a crucial question: is it we who do not accept ourselves as we are, or is it society that does not accept us?
​
Where is the focus of this body on stage? On society, on the audience, on ourselves, on the character? A mirror, a parallelism, a vicious circle is created where the two visions touch and collapse, generating a monster that society itself rejects. These parallelisms run throughout the piece in an unconventional universe, addressing social expectations, gender dynamics, and stereotypes.
A story of fears, power and taboos.
A woman's look at a woman's body.
A dance, a ritual, an outlet.
