Ya los brazos le crecían (2021) is a performance with objects that follows the structure of a play. It is part of ongoing research that examines myths from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, in which nymphs transform into objects and in order to escape sexual assault. This performance proposes a feminist and post-humanist reading of these myths through a dramaturgy that decenters human perspective on the stage, focusing instead on scenography and props. The scenes themselves refer to the transformed nymphs, invoking their presence in their non-human form. The only human agents are moving professionals who periodically carry out scene changes. Experts in the change of objects and their care, they practice the feminist principle of caring and maintenance of environments. It was performed in May 2021 at the Icebox Project Space in Philadelphia. Performers: Suso Phizer and Fred Schmidt-Arenales. Documentation: Chantal Vorobei-Thieves.
