“I would like to die in an orgasm, as an old woman, on the beach. With the sun and the sand and the salt”
Synopsis
La punta de l’iceberg (The tip of the iceberg) is an immersive show through the awakening of desire and the importance of pleasure, in which the audience will live first-hand stories and situations based on real experiences that will allow them to ask themselves about their own erotic life. Based on anonymous testimonies of hundreds of women and people who have been socialized as such, we have built a show to celebrate sexuality, break taboos and stereotypes, throw a party and make visible the desire to continue enjoying and sharing. We want to speak from the pleasure, from one of the aspects that makes us stronger and more powerful. We want to talk about our skin, our tongue, our muscles and our flesh. Pleasure, desire, as an engine for everything, as an engine of change, of life. Pleasure as revolution.
Press mentions
“La gairebé hora i mitja de La punta de l’iceberg crida que el plaer ens fa poderoses, i el nostre cos (encara que aprenguem a odiar-lo sense saber ben bé com) ens ajuda a celebrar-lo. Una obra absolutament catàrtica i sanadora”
“Un espectacle per a tothom, molt més revolucionari que certes peces morboses que l’únic que fan que és continuar banalitzant i mercantilitzant el desig.”
“[…] amb La punta de l’iceberg La Virgueria signa una peça que mou, i que obre un espai necessari i ric de possibilitats que abans han explorat algunes poques peces, com Els dies mentits de Marta Aran.”
