Ella Artículo femenino

Abstract

This work poses a challenge to contemporary conversations about the relationship between gender and identity: how many women fit into one pronoun? Its writing began in 2008 at the invitation of the Colombian mezzo-soprano Martha Senn, and was completed in 2009 thanks to an Iberescena scholarship, Ella is a work that proposes a pendulum movement between tradition and its resignation. It starts from the myth of Ariadne to display the female character in at least seven characters. Theseus, just one. The need for the multiplication of the female character is the contemporary gesture: there is no longer just a thread that unites the destiny of Ariadne with Theseus.
