GORILLA WOMAN
I transform myself from a Normala into a Gorilla Woman. By plucking strands of wool from all over my body, I become furrier and more animalistic. I let my armpit, pride and leg hair grow artificially in fast motion and gradually sprout woolly threads of fur all over my body. Finally, I put on a gorilla mask (see / Homage to guerrilla girls). "Strike, strike, women's strike!" I leave the stage shouting.
WOMEN*STRIKE WARM UP
We warm up for the women's strike on June 14. I demonstrate simple movements to women*power music that everyone can join in with. Instead of a radiant, sexy lead dancer, as is usually the case, I'm a feminist gorilla woman.
Duration of the performances: 10 minutes each.
