La Porta invites you to explore a selection of works and artists who bring us into contact with a kind of metaphysics of the body and its rituals - alternatives to the predictable sexual or sports-related connotations of the dominant aesthetic paradigms. Immerse yourself in the adventure of human flesh, its raw beauty and inexorable fate.
contextualisation of a project by the Las Santas collective / a presentation of Elena Cordoba's latest stage piece and a glimpse into her imaginary – discussion and photo exhibition / a foray into the unique world of the writer, playwright and 'actionist' Angélica Liddell / a close look at the work and career of the playwright and choreographer Raimund Hoghe.
