Text, choreography and performance by Diana De Fex

Anahí is an actress, playwright and feminist, but in her search for a job, she is constantly pigeonholed into gender roles. She goes from virgin to whore without finding her place and she begins to wonder if she has failed as a feminist or if feminism has failed her. She prays to “the Virgin of Condoms” for condoms not to break in a country where abortion is illegal. She wonders if the only thing left for women to do is to put a price on the oppressions they suffer every day, as if they were “services” they perform for men. "We would succumb to patriarchy and the capitalist market, but at least (?) we would be sex workers instead of sex slaves?" Anahí asks the audience to put a price on women's oppressions by placing price tags on her body. In the meantime, as anger and frustration mount, Anahí's journey in art comes in proximity with the story of a Valerie Solanas with an Andy Warhol.
