Descripción: From our place of whoresons, of colonization’s putative children, we fictionalise landmarks which seem to be from the past, bringing to the stage an orgy of colonial and capitalist obscenities. Crossing the history of the human zoos, the annihilation of an aboriginal culture and how the economic legacies of this mass murderers are still affecting different native communities until the present day, we make an analogy with non-consented sexuality which is so well-liked in the heteronormative porn market. An anal-logy, where colonization and its businesses would be what an unconsented fisting – with no vaseline, J-Lube nor Crisco – is for a virgin ass, with the brutal burden of having been systematically raped since centuries ago. A reality that appears to be irrelevant, which we forget and leave as something past, as if it wouldn’t exist any more. Pornographic, because there is the open pit, there is the mining industry subtracting minerals like a fist-fucking to Abya-Yala’s selfless ass. Porno-graphic because it is there, naked, exposed.

This is a work of investigation and interpretation totally self-managed, in constant evolution and modification, therefore every representation has been different to the former ones and each time it exists the necessity of investigating and digging even more. We know that by studying, exposing and representing this hidden history we make ourselves somehow accomplices of this aberrant facts which provoke a mix of fascination and horror, but it’s a burden we accept to carry as the cost of the truth.

Because the only real death is oblivion, and we are not willing to forget; that’s why we make this performance “despite everything”, because no matter how brutal and inhumane we try to do this show, reality will always beat fiction by far.
