the SEWING MACHINE + AK77 body performance

The sewing machine is a project of body art
performance, born from a member of Freaks'Bloody Tricks: Miss Kiki.
She uses the sewing machine as a continuum of her body, needles and blood represent the violence and the abuses that women have been undergoing during ages in a male chauvinist society.
The weaving act represents the ritual passage through emotional states, pain becomes the most sublime pleasure and open the door through senses.
Every performance is always new and unique, and involves poetry, installations, visuals and music.
