Creation, Direction & Performance - LaLaLa collective (Martina Buhagiar, Zoe Camilleri & Florinda Camilleri)Technical Support - Niels Plotard
We explored the complexity of the "feminine" as an act of resistance against the ubiquitous stereotyping of women. Mary Magdalene was our inspiration, since her image and narrative has been misunderstood and manipulated by patriarchal institutions for centuries.
LaLaLa collective (LLLc) is formed by artistic, ritualistic and domestic collaborators Zoe, Florinda and Martina Georgina. They explore realms of the feminine through performance, seeking to problematize the female stereotypes which dominate contemporary Maltese culture. LLLc reveal more complex feminine narratives through various media, including movement, sound, video and costume, with their bodies at the core of their multidisciplinary practice. Drawing from historical data, social media material, personal experiences and collective speculation, they weave together playful yet poignant performances which aim to be, at least a little bit, uncomfortable.
