RE.SET a metaphor for my queer emancipation
I was terrified that my lesbianism would become palpable, but now I have the bouches partout sur ma corps.
Revisiting personal memories connected to their family, affections, romances and professional experiences, Be draws inspiration from the universe of cabaret, the counterculture of the Queercore movement and artists such as Lene Lovich, Diamanda Galás, Siouxsie Sioux, Grace Jones, Nina Hagen and bell hooks, to create an autobiographical performance about their lesbianity in continuous transmutation. RE.SET is a personal testimony dedicated to celebrating the LGBTQIAPN+ community, emphasizing the importance of connecting with our own experiences in order to genuinely open up to other people's stories. — Be Dias
