V7: El problema sigue en pie/ V7: The Problem Persists is a self-produced theatre project based on research into fear and freedom of expression, the validation processes that works of art must go through and how these institutional and bureaucratic processes can affect the creation and development of artistic projects and the reaslisation of their intended message.
The piece shows two individuals in a single performance space, where they represent an eternal, reflective dialogue. On one side we find Arquiloco, in reference to the first poet to be censored in Ancient Greece, and on the other the prostitute, as a symbol of the perversion and submission of women under the patriarchal system that imposes its controlling laws. This eternal dialogue allows us to reflect on themes such as censorship, fear, freedom of expression, violence and power.
Time and the stage are represented as two diffuse elements making up a universe shared by performance and a series of texts. Some of these are by the artist herself, others inspired by and based on works of art, mainly from literature and film, all, like the documentary this is based on, censored in their time.
