Teoria King Kong
A groundbreaking text with transformative power
A groundbreaking text with transformative power
La Virgueria returns with its adaptation of King Kong Theory, the iconic essay by Virginie Despentes transformed into a direct and striking monologue performed by Maria Pau Pigem. The production embraces the transformative energy of the text to challenge patriarchal morality and address topics such as rape, prostitution, and desire, with a staging that asserts the word as a tool of resistance and empowerment. The work offers a lucid and unflinching look at the social construction of femininity and the structural violences that traverse it.
