Renata Carvalho (Brazil) - Manifesto Transpofágico
‘Look at me, a trans woman. Just touch me'.
The personal is political in Manifesto Transpofágico, the solo performance by theatre maker Renata Carvalho. She presents herself, in her own words, as ‘an experiment, a showcase, a guinea pig’. Carvalho is transgender and makes herself extremely vulnerable: ‘Does anyone want to touch me?’
In the performance, she talks about the history and representation of the trans body and then steps into the audience, naked except for a pair of knickers. By literally exposing herself, she wants to reassure her audience: ‘Look, I'm not scary.’
