Thirst For Revenge

By: Maria Basura & Jorge Benavides

THE PORNOGRAPHIC SIDE OF COLONIALISM’S HIDDEN HISTORY

„From our place of whoresons, of putative children of colonization, we fictionalize 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 aboriginal cultures and how the economic legacies of this mass murderers are still affecting different native communities until the present day, the performers make an analogy with non-consented sexuality. Through installations, audiovisual material and imaginatively playing roles of “savages” in eternal captivity making imposed “shows”, they reveal deplorable historical information performing a psychomagic ritual of revenge and liberation on their behalf, while using porn-poetry to narrate the aggressions from the different industries to the lands in a porn time capsule which seems to go on in an endless loop.
