SARA MANUBENS

A drag performer steps onto the stage. We’re offered glimpses of bodily fragments and emotional states that we slowly begin to piece together. Playing with various clichés of transfemininity, the piece choreographs the audience’s emotions and invites them to unpack their own unconscious prejudices and fetishes. It’s an opportunity to witness the realities surrounding a trans body through an artistic lens.

Sara Manubens is an artist, choreographer and drag performer based in Barcelona. Her work moves between site-specific performance, live art and dance, with a focus on trans-corporeality and its impact on reality. Since 2015, she has developed her own creative processes, working with the cultural and social fabric of Barcelona, and designing and delivering educational projects for a range of institutional programmes and public schools.
