When identity and gender definitions are stripped away, who do you see?
In a partly-autobiographical monologue, Premio Ubu winner Silvia Calderoni peels away layers of scientific and historical convention and challenges the audience to re-imagine individual identity beyond the definitions of gender binaries. Combining their own androgynous physicality with texts based on personal, researched and fictional experience, projected home movies, interviews and a powerful, live DJ’d soundtrack, Calderoni presents a visceral and delicately balanced depiction of the violence, bewilderment and emotional unravelling of an individual.

International Festival of Contemporary Theatre "Homo Novus" is the leading performing arts festival in Latvia and one of the biggest in the Baltic region. Festival takes place in Riga from September 6 till 12, 2018 and introduces audiences to both new and renowned artists that seek ways of expressing their views and opinions about the world and the society. Festival offers a range of performances as well as seminars, workshops and other activities.
