When you’re new to a place, there’s a series of clashes and concerns that condition your stay in that new universe. Cuecas em 8 [8-shaped Underpants] intends to be a kind of manifesto on the adaptation process of a woman in a foreign country, based in particular on testimonies from the performers themselves and from narratives gathered in local communities. These views, which are somehow grievances, analyse the way in which the signs of adaptation and maladjustment shared by women of various nationalities manifest in ‘unprepared’ performers.
