Regina Parra: Pagan

2023
Paperback

Publisher: Pinacoteca de Sao Paulo.

Pages: 91

Pagan narrates a ritual celebrating the woman's body, her pleasure, her freedom and her vivid insubordination. Conceived by Regina Parra (São Paulo, 1984) as an exhibition and a program of performances for the second floor of Pinacoteca Estação, the transdisciplinary project brings visual arts closer to other languages, such as theater, music, literature, dance and cinema. In this work, conceived as a tragedy with nine scenes, the artist intertwines different narratives and times: Greek mythology: the Villa of the Mysteries (2nd century BC) in Pompeii, Italy, the book A passion according to G.H. (1964), by Clarice Lispector, and many other stories starring women.

 

Edited as a theatrical libretto, this catalog presents the rubrics of all the scenes that make up Pagan's script, in addition to an interview with Regina Parra and information about the main collaborators of the project. On the map of this great labyrinth, some clues are given to cross it.
