SVAW - Call Me By Their Names

2014-2026 Project in construction

SVAW (Stop Violence Against Women) - Call me by Their Names is a Investigative work in Progress performance taht started in 2024 in Portugal and after my move to Sweden was hibernating to rewaken in 2024 with regained energy to continue it's path. In is developed to give voice to the victims of Feminicide and aims to expose and act upon this human scourge with the aim for active change.

After our last presentation in Paris on March26, with a version that engaged and physically included the audience, we are preparing a new version with laboratories for survivors and students using a fusion between Anarita's methodology and Mariana Araoz's In Balance Method. After this, again applying real data from victims and testimonies from survivors, we will co-create a new performance including professionals and people from the labs from Portugal, France, Sweden and Spain.
