LORENA LO PENA : Performance “Comer para vivir” en Festival Transit VI -Odin Teatret / Performance “Eat to Live” at Theatre Festival "Transit 6" -Odin Teatret

Performer, Creator and Producer.

August 2009, Hostelbro- Denmark, Odin Teatret

Internacional Theatre Festival “Transit 6 –Women on the Pherisphery” –Magdalena Proyect, in Odin Teatret -Denmark.

This performance is about excess and self-destructive behaviours, and the body as the main element of punishment. Eating disorders are becoming an everyday issue and part of our lives. This is an autobiographical performance about bulimia and anorexia.

Why do we feed ourselves? What is a calorie? What are we trying to fill when we ingest over our daily-recommended amount of calories?

BA. ‘Performing Arts’ at PUCP, Lima, Peru (2008). MA ‘Contemporary Performance Making’ at Brunel University, London, UK (2011) ans MA 'Creative Producing' at Birkbeck University of London, UK (2013).

As an Artist I investigate, explore and create performance pieces within the topics of gender, identity and body politics; I use as a source for my projects an autobiographical approach. My exploration travels through the limits between Physical Theatre, Live Art, Body Art, Installation and Multimedia Art. My experience as performer starts in 2002, but I have been creating Live Art projects since 2009.

Como artista, investigo, exploro y creo piezas de Arte Acción dentro de los temas de género, identidad y políticas del cuerpo, usando como fuente de mis proyectos un enfoque autobiográfico. Mi exploración es interdisciplinaria y viaja a través de los límites de Teatro físico, Arte Acción, Body Art, Instalación y Arte Multimedia. Mi experiencia como Actriz/Performer se inicia en 2002, pero he enfocado mi trabajo en Arte Acción desde el 2009.
