‘Monstruas’ (Monsters) is a provocative piece devised with a group of lesbian and queer women to reflect about issues around gender, identity and diversity.
The dictionary tells us that a monster is a large, ugly, and frightening imaginary creature. A thing of extraordinary or daunting size. Then, why are lesbian and queer women called monsters? Approaching the notion of the 'monstrous' from a critical perspective, this piece gives voice to powerful women who want to fight against lesbophobia and all discrimination.
Directed by Marina Pallares-Elias, this piece is the result of an intensive three-day project working with la Sare Lesbianista in Bilbao, as part of Bilbao’s International GayLesboTrans Film and Performing Arts Festival, Zinegoak.
