In her 2017 book M’estimes i em times (“You love me and you trick me”), Júlia Bertran questions many of the ideas that have impacted her life: do we love how we want to love or how we've been told to? In addition to being the author of Así bailan las putas, Bertran is also one of the performers. This show gives centre stage to the main ideas talked about in the book: accepting vulnerability, contradictions, doubts, empowerment... We join Júlia Bertran and her dance teacher, Ana Chinchilla, in a unique class where we will learn all about twerking. We are prisoners of conscience, captives of the patriarchal gaze through which we see the world. This is the battle cry that will help us to change it. This is an opportunity for us to accept our doubts, express them, dig deeper into the roots of our behaviour and break free from our shackles with a simple flick of the bum.
