In this first part of Trilogia Cadela Força, writer and director Carolina Bianchi explores, through the staging of her own body, the ways in which theatre and artistic performance have tackled narratives dealing with sexual violence.


Obsessed by the story of the rape and murder of an artist, Carolina Bianchi unfurls a wide-reaching landscape of stories of rape and femicide, composed of different strata which defy all semblance of harmony, via the interweaving of narratives, images and figures from the history of art. This first chapter reveals the complexity which permeates any approach to these narratives, in which memory becomes blurred and the resulting traumas are a wound that never ceases to produce new meanings. Divided in two parts, A Noiva e o Boa Noite Cinderela (The Bride and Goodnight Cinderella) recounts, among other things, the tragic story of Pippa Bacca’s performance, at the point at which the writer and performer herself loses consciousness. The Cara de Cavalo performers carry, in the literal sense of the world, her sleeping body, in a chaotic, disturbing choreography, giving rise to an inner experience of a dark kind. Setting herself down within a genealogy of female artists, Carolina Bianchi explores the constituent sexist violence present in the myths of our civilisation, and plunges headlong into the depths of a fragmented memory.

Carolina Bianchi unfurls the final chapter of Cadela Força, thereby bringing to a close this multifaceted trilogy.
