GINOIDE - BAAL –

DANCE · THEATRE · FEMINISM · SEXUALIT Y


There’s also a version for high school scholars
DESCRIPTION
GINOIDE is a robot with a female
resemblance, designed mainly for
sexual purposes. Nana was built
following the stereotyped canons
that objectify women. Rules that
prevail in our neoliberal society,
where consumption sets the rules
that our bodies, real or fake, have
to obey.
Inspired in series and films such as
The Handmaid’s Tale, Black Mirror
or Ex-Machina, the relationship
between Nana and her owner
Augustin, will make us think
about sentimental as well as sexual
relationships. Where is humanity
heading to? What will happen to the
reproduction of our species?
For young and adult audiences
SYNOPSIS
New London 2029. In a global
society where personal relations
are a privilege, we find Augustin,
“chief technology officer” of
a multinational corporation.
Submerged in a working routine
that places him at the edge of the
void, Augustin lives in anxiety.
In order to break with all the
monotony, he searches for someone
able to integrate into his repetitive
life cycles. The peculiar relationship
between Nana, his new mate, is
altered by a new situation; a third
element cuts into their relationship.
This will make her question her
own existence.
