Performance probes female existence

An upcoming performance in Nicosia seeks to challenge stereotypes and social roles. In early June, interdisciplinary artist Anthi Kettirou will present her new work titled ‘How Do You Like Your pink?’, a performance which looks at the female existence in relation to the body, identity and today’s society.

Held at Wherehaus 612 on June 1, 2, 8 and 9, Anthi Kettirou, Andromachi Dimitriadou Lindahl, Georgia Constantinou Clark and Elisavet Panagiotou will explore the conditioning and grooming women go through from childhood to adulthood.

Touching on personal, collective archives and memories, gender-based violence and contemporary literature and popular music, the performance refers to behaviours, beliefs and perceptions that shape womanhood, typically by someone with more power or authority.

The four performers on stage, each in a different decade and phase in their life, weave together this piece using personal experiences with references to classical fairy tales, social stereotypes and phenomena. The performance uses a fusion of dance movement, writing, sound, costume design and scenography to highlight the complexity of the female experience in modern society.
