Artivistic, Turn On in Montreal (V): Performance de Shu Lea Cheang cancelada
Como ya va siendo habitual, vaya. En el último momento alguien cae en la cuenta de lo que quiere decir contenido sexual explícito, surgen los miedos por el tema de las leyes y la pornografía en un evento público… No a las ereciones, no a la exposición de genitales, no a las penetraciones, etc. Shu Lea, después de tres días de trabajo, se niega a censurar su performance y hasta aquí hemos llegado. Aunque la única parte de la perfo de Shu Lea que tenía porno duro era la mía, íbamos a hacer la parte práctica de un taller de porno delante del público. Una pena porque la gente estaba muy animada. Pero es que una no puede trabajar con semejantes limitaciones.

Querida Maria,
I hope you’re feeling better!
reading your post arriving home…
and …
i would very like have a good and warm conversation with you about what happened that day …
having lived every second on that day very intensly and SO actively(? activement), either i, of course wouldn’t say that what you express here is not accurate since it is accurate to your experience of the day and one’s perceptions are always true, right ?, but i’d love to and i think also it would be important to me to offer you the incredible story of what happened «off stage»all day long…and to converse with you including in the conversation more of contextals element that deapen the understanding of the situation on all front relationals, human being communication, power, questions of censorship, consent, autonomous movement,and more
all have been very intense… my brain has already started with the analysis and some of them are not ininteressant..indeed
i’ve just arrived home, (i’m writing to you here just because i’m afraid to open my mailbox and find there some other things that i have to do…:-)it’ more of a personnal email than a comment i intent to post…:-)
i’m looking forward to this meal with you and Sabina (she had a pretty pleasurefull night last night ;-)…)
i really do hope you’ll find some very good rest at your friend’s
i’m going to wash (jesus christ i stink!) and then offer me this incredible meal in a good restaurant! i’m exhausted but the ending party, even if it was a technical complete disaster… at some point so ridiculous that it was hilarious,..has been an incredible, powerful, a-ma-zing human experience… one of the most amazing party i’ve seen in my life …i’ve organized lots of things in the last 20 years in all different context and gees! this final had something !
somewhere , i have this, slight but rich of different tints, sadness that Shu Lea maybe might not have had the sight of it all (i’m really conscious here that i would expresse myself so much better in french here, i know i’m not perfectly faithfull to the subtility i’d like to express and that faithfullness is usually something important to me), a bit of a sadness that she left before the end of the Urban Porn performance…
Have a gooooood rest, and a wonderful trip in «america!!»
see you on the first of november
with love,
kisses kisses kisses…
Jule
ps: i have seen the dvd of orgasmic birth for Nicole, i’ll give it to her!

Puta mierda. Qué asco me dan lxs hipócritas que no se atreven a llamar a las cosas por su nombre, que se escandalizan por unos genitales, que te censuran sólo porque tu frontera es (si la tienes) mucho más extensa que la suya.
Qué sentido tiene organizar eventos de este tipo si luego venimos con las limitaciones, las normas, los corsets. Qué asfixia.
Putos hipócritas, eso es lo que son.

Dear Jule,
you organised a wonderful event darling! You did all you could! Talk to you very soon in Montreal.
Querida Diana,
yo creo que todo es una cuestión de aceptar riesgos. Las organizaciones están sometidas a una legislación restrictiva en cuanto a la exhibición de la sexualidad. Si optan a arriesgarse es una cuestión personal.
Somos todas unas valientes.
