MDLSX

In an explosive anthem to freedom and self-determination, the performance “MDLSX” moves beyond all conventional aesthetic categories: DJ set and theatre monologue, fact and fiction are combined with Silvia Calderoni’s seemingly androgynous body to create a daring performance. Inspired by gender theoretical manifestoes, autobiographical episodes in the performer’s life and fictional passages, the performance sparks a debate about gender, otherness and the inadequacy of our vocabulary. “MDLSX” is a visually spectacular show, a play on identities, and a theatrical journey through the in-between.

«Silvia Calderoni must be made of mercury, or some improbably liquid element that has yet to be discovered. Surely no body of mortal flesh could undergo the quicksilver transformations achieved by this remarkable performer in ‹MDLSX›, a perceptions-scrambling work from the Italian revolutionary theater troupe Motus.»
