Martha Luisa Hernández Cadenas
No soy unicornio
CubaIn «No soy unicornio», the queer-feminist artist and performer Martha Luisa Hernández Cadenas, aka Martica Minipunto, walks the streets of Havanna as a unicorn. Her body – disguised as a genderless fabulous creature – becomes a scene for assaults and manoeuvres of poetic resistance, balanced between power and freedom in a society characterised by colonisation, binary thinking, fear and censorship. At the Theater Spektakel, Hernández Cadenas presents her long-term project as an essayistic solo performance, in which she skilfully combines language, intertextual references and moving images. (as)
Simple words
In this show, an artist from Cuba dresses up as a unicorn and walks through the streets of Havanna. Like that, she wants to show that she is not afraid. And she wants to criticise our society.
