CAIXAFORUM. Eduardo Primo Yúfera, 1A
Virginia Woolf gutted the letters by publishing the 1928 a novel where the main character changes sex and is bisexual. Orlando man demands women to be chaste, obedient and ignorant, But, when he transforms into her, he realizes that he has to pay in his own flesh for those past demands. It will also be then when he will make his bisexual desire evident. Call me Orlando is a contemporary version that, mixing theater, music, dance and audiovisual, explores gender diversity and breaks with the social conventions imposed by conservative societies over four hundred years. If Woolf’s Orlando travels from the Isabella era to the early twentieth century, Orlando, which now arrives at Caixaforum, will do so until the 21st century, questioning, likewise, gender identity, tolerance and clichés.
