t4/ LOVE ME/ MARINA OTERO

more than a plot synopsis or brief, this text is a promise: love me will always be a work in progress. the device scenic is not going to vary. but its content will continue to be written eternally and to update in each presentation. when the time has come, Marina Otero is going to sit in front of the public to expose a cluster of nervous intentions without treatment or elaboration. it's not much. but it is much more worthy than crying and crying out to be loved.

LOVE ME/ MARINA OTERO

 

Yes, Fuck me and then Love me. First fuck me, then let's talk about love. Sex is body. Love is not so much body as time. Or maybe love is a body holding time.

The work is a solo that deals with the violence that I carry inside. In turn, the text is rewritten for each occasion. It was released in March 2022 in Buenos Aires as a farewell to the country that I left almost a year ago. The version that is presented in each territory brings together the confessions of a foreigner, a fugitive. We migrants become addicted to escaping. Our identity is the path because the country we left no longer exists.
