CES4E6-Performance arts - reproducing or resisting power?
Shakespeare said that “All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players.” Acting and performance are at the centre of this episode as Nae Hanashiro Avila, a PhD student here in Toronto, discusses how identity and performance relate. Of Peruvian-Japanese descent, her mixed ethnical background and her expertise in performing arts begin a conversation about how we can be true to who we are as our different identities collide: Are they performed according or in opposition to expectations? She argues that however we express our identities, we need to be aware of how those performances reproduce or resist power relations. Her experience with theatre and the performing arts inspired her current research focusing on exploring feminist public performances in the Latin American context to contest power in the form of neoliberalism and patriarchy.
