Tempora Contempora#3/ My Choice My Body

In the Rainbow Parade (Pride) in Tokyo, a transgender or transvestite person who was interviewed always responded with the words: 'My body my choice'; the same slogan was used in the movement against the abortion ban. The contemporary dance group Suichu-Megane, born in 2011, brings on stage the national premiere of "My choice my body" as part of the third edition of "Tempora Contempora", the international focus on body language in the performing arts conceived and organised by Accademia Mediterranea dell'Attore, Polo Bibliomuseale di Lecce, Museo Sigismondo Castromediano, in partnership with Regione Puglia, Ministero della Cultura, Fondazione Nuovi Mecenati, Institut Française di Roma, Eu Japan Fest and Lecceinscena, under the artistic direction of Franco Ungaro. The dance theatre performance sees on stage Ayane Nakagawa and Nemoto Shimpei (Japan) wearing koomote (Noh masks modelled on a young female face) and, with their pelvises lowered, walking slowly forward in suriashi (feet sliding on the floor) with their feet open to the side.

Admission: full price 10 euros, reduced 5 euros under 25 and over 60.
