HRLA welcomes Rocío Boliver—an iconic figure in underground performance in Mexico and an internationally renowned performance artist. This will be Rocío Boliver's first performance in Los Angeles. Rocío Boliver's work stages a direct confrontation with the ideological grid that would determine the shape and trajectory of women's lives, especially in Mexico. Her performance concludes "Overstimulated: The Limits of Performance," a day dedicated to queer feminist performance studies and action.
Erich Fromm claims that the deepest, most pressing need of mankind is to overcome a sense of loneliness and separation. Individual separatism is, for Fromm, an essential feature in understanding the human experience, and one which is the source of much loneliness and existential angst. The prison of aloneness can only be transcended through a sense of union, in the connection with the Other.
We are also pleased to welcome Thibault Delferière, a painter and performance artist from Belgium, who will be presenting his first performance in the US! This is Boliver and Delferière’s third international collaboration.
