Sinopse
What happens when someone survives? The first chapter of the trilogy Cadela Força [Bitch Strength], by theatre director and author Carolina Bianchi, covers several layers of time. Ever since she got distraught over the news of the rape and death of a female artist who was presenting a performance related to the belief in human kindness, Carolina Bianchi started to work on a series of stories that share narratives of rape followed by femicide. With her collective, Cara de Cavalo, she creates a journey into the abyss, a hole in the middle of the desert, a plunge into a rape drinking glass: a descent into Hell. — Cara de Cavalo

Author's bio text
Carolina Bianchi is a Brazilian theatre director, writer and performer living in Amsterdam since 2020. Her theatre work inseparably combines theory and practice, and she often chooses to work with several casts and different choral elements. Her pieces take crisis as a starting point to introduce confabulations on gender, sexual violence and art history. Combining different literature, film and painting references, her work is full of musical mash-ups and constantly confronts all that resembles an absolute truth. She is the director of the Cara de Cavalo collective from São Paulo, with which she created the trilogy Cadela Força (2022/25), and the pieces O Tremor Magnífico (2020) and Lobo (2018). In 2023, Bianchi premiered the first instalment of the trilogy Cadela Força — A Noiva e a Cinderela da Boa Noite — in the scope of the Avignon Festival.
