PERFORMANCE
My Tender Matador

The book My Tender Matador by Pedro Lemebel, adapted into a performance, delves into the intersections of love, political resistance, and identity, focusing on the relationship between a flamboyant, aging drag queen and a young revolutionary.

 .

This performative reading not only portrays the vibrant subcultures of queer life but also serves as a critique of political repression. It highlights how marginalized communities navigate and resist authoritarian regimes, blending rich, evocative storytelling with incisive social commentary.
