Cock, cock... Who's there?

2, 3 September 22.00, Zirgu pasts | 10, 7 eur

Cock, cock… who’s there? is a documentary performance about violence and intimacy. Samira Elagoz takes us along on a personal research project across three continents – to online platforms and close encounters. She showcases gender relations in their brutal and wonderful ambivalence and reinvents her autonomous expression of sexuality. Confrontational, funny, deeply touching and formally simply virtuoso, the piece explores desire, the power of femininity and the male gaze in a world in which the virtual and the real are inextricably intertwined.
