Maids

'Amo a las criadas por irreales', 2018

Inspired by Monterroso's Maids, this short film combining fiction and screendance presents a maid ballerina embodying the voices of two stock radio drama lovers who plan to murder her with their own hands.On a theatrical setting and in one circular travelling shot, objectivity becomes biased as the body struggles to expose all that is incorporeal, and the question arises as to where the limits between mind and expression are. This humorous piece (5 minutes long) promotes the creative junction of video, dance, film, theatre and radio. Therefore, multiplicity appears at every moment, breathes in every image, guided by the dramatic voices coming from the radio which tries to rescue its now forgotten soap operas. Julieta Ferraro, who specialized on experimental dance and physical theatre at the Kim Physical Theatre in Berlin, Germany, achieves a hypnotizing performance, that goes beyond classic representation of the female character.
