MDLSX is an explosive sound device, a lysergic and solitary hymn to the freedom of becoming, to gender b(l)ending, to being other than the borders of the body.
MDLSX tends towards the spilling out of all categories – all, even artistic ones. It is a “scandalous” theatrical trip that Silvia Calderoni – after 10 years with Motus – carries out with a new format conceived as an eccentric DJ/VJ set, in order to start an exploration around borders and limits.
Autobiographical bits and literary evocations come together and MDLSX, swings from Gender Trouble to Undoing Gender.
We quote Judith Butler who, with Paul B. Preciado’s
Manifesto Contra-sexual and other bits of the kaleidoscopic universe of Queer, weaves the background of this Monster-Performance.
