After tackling sexual and gender-based violence, in her new work The Brotherhood, Carolina Bianchi turns to the issue of so-called boys clubs in the world of art and theatre. How does this male solidarity shield perpetrators of sexual assault? What is the influence of these power structures on artistic creation?
In 2023, Carolina Bianchi embarked on a one-way ticket to hell entitled A noiva e o Boa Noite Cinderela (The Bride and Good Night Cinderella) in which she portrayed a victim of chemically-induced submission. In The Brotherhood, the second chapter of her Cadela Força (Trilogie des Chiennes) trilogy, she changes her point of view by focusing on the perpetrators. Starting from the observation that male solidarity, a form of social organization, ensures the perpetration of rapes and the protection of those responsible, the director questions the complexity of her relationship to artistic creation. If the history of art is dominated by male gaze and rape culture, what relationship can we possibly have with these forms? In what way have they shaped our view and vision of the world? What becomes of art in the absence of the genius-like male artist associated with it? Accompanied once again by her Cara de Cavalo collective, Carolina Bianchi surfaces from the heavy sleep of the first chapter in the midst of an identification crisis.
