Thursday of voice and word / The voice of others

Lip sync has been, for decades, a fundamental practice in the world of drag, a space where the voice becomes malleable matter and identity is blurred and reconstructed. This dramatised reading, being a literary transformism, proposes a journey through different texts that have dealt with the relationship between lip sync and transvestite art, exploring the power of the word in the mouth of another body, the play with identity and the resignification of other people’s voices.

On stage, three drag figures – Faraonix, Barjaula Travesti and Glaciar – will embody three different ways of inhabiting drag, taking lip sync beyond imitation to transform it into a tool for subversion and expression.

The performance will close with a round table discussion on the importance of lip sync and transvestite versions, its political and artistic charge, and the fundamental role it plays in the construction of dissident narratives.

A tribute to borrowed voices, reinvented words and the power of an art that is born in lip movements.
