Rafaella Marques a.k.a Rafuska Marks @rafuuska is polemic: SHE LOVES CORIANDER 💥 She wakes up and instead of getting up, she stays in bed on her cell phone checking messages and scrolling, scrolling, scrolling...For 30 minutes! And then she gets up fast, a fast coffee and runs to catch the subway to arrive on time. She was always 5 minutes late. But she is on rehab. For 2021 she will be on time. On her roof there is a dove's nest. You read right: a f**king huge DOVE'S NEST and they scream non-stop every day from 8 am to 8:43 am. In winter she didn't take a shower for 1 day. (Okay, it was 2 days) In summer she bought an electric machine to make milk foam to drink freddo latte cappuccino at home. She hates places without heating. She is learning how to complain more. But is she too diplomatic for it?

Kysy Fischer @kysyfischer is the most famous young director from Lages in Berlin. Thousands of people saw her work in two continents. She was elected the most insecure and therefore sometimes the most rude artist in Kreuzberg-Mitte. In Brazil she published articles, and worked with famous people. In Berlin cleaned to German baby asses and German toilets.
What she loves about performing arts? What it can still become, not what it is.
Kysy hates to cook. (Is it relevant?) Yes, if you want to become her friend, because you'll have to buy more food and to cook more often in your life.
She loves Brazilian funk, being naked, açaí, repetition, insistence and accumulation.

*Teija Vaittinen*, @teijavaittinen from the deep forests of Finland. She likes to sing karaoke - loud and with passion. She speaks incredibly fast, most of the time mixing three languages and NOT finishing her sentences. She is quite funny when trying to twerk like Kysy or Rafa - but, her Finnish ass just isn’t able to move that smoothly. When leaving the apartment she triple checks whether the door is closed and the oven is turned off. Sometimes she wraps herself in plastic film (the oil absorbs more effectively like that, yes, for real!).

Copulatory vocalization used by women is most often practiced before or simultaneously with male ejaculation (demonstrate male ejaculation).
The female orgasm is most commonly experienced during “foreplay” (gesture). (Pause) What is critical to this examination? Female copulatory vocalization does not necessarily correspond to the timing of experiencing one’s own orgasms, but is instead used in action, guiding a partner to an orgasm.

“The mouth has a very important role in the mechanism of moaning. But should we not use the mouth only for eating? So at the moment we begin to use the mouth to kiss or to moan...ARE WE TALKING ABOUT A PERVERSION?” 😱

We use clown tools to create comedy. It's not about using colorful costumes or a red nose. Laughter comes from direct contact and connection with the audience. Through this encounter, the clown questions it and shows imperfection and fragility. For us, “clown” is a state of being and that means connecting with others, being there and now, questioning yourself, opening up and trusting yourself. It is on the basis of this vigilance that the ridiculousness arises and through this we can look at the issues of “being a woman” from unusual angles.

Angry-feminist-performances have become an integral part of stages. We are VERY angry too, but our artistic strategy is claimed through comedy.
We want to add another perspective to the feminist performance scene.
We are angry AND we create humor with it!

ABA NAIA‘S #MANIFEST

Ps.

-We will keep working also in times of pandemia.

-We will fight until the end.

-We will not allow a man to steal our ideas or labour power.

-We like money, we like paychecks, we like champagne.

-If we notice we can live without doing art, we will leave.

ABA NAIA‘S #MANIFEST

Part III

-We are savage. We speak many languages. We are from South, North, Center. We are up, down, but always left.

-We respect each other. We will keep trying to arrive on time!

-We build and create together. We fight, we cry and after all we hug each other. We listen and help each other in the difficult moments. We are drama-queens. We will be strong when one of us is weak. „We are fa-mi-ly, I got all my sisters with me.“

ABA NAIA’S #MANIFEST
Part II

-We create with the materiality of our bodies and voices, here and now, in life, on the stage, with each other. We investigate the presence and recognize everyone in the room.

-The space that we claim is used for global discourses. We take the stage to build up real-time connection with the audience. We will never ignore if a piano or a cow falls on the stage as we will never ignore our privileges and stay aware of global grievances.

-We stay angry and aware as long as patriarchal structures diminish work of women*.

ABA NAIA’S #MANIFEST
Part I

-We make performances.

-We expose contradictions. We are ridiculous. We struggle and strive together with humor. We want to laugh and bring other people to laugh.

-We take the stage to tumble. We understand failure as an opportunity and operator of change. We are in an ongoing research process. We will not be sure about anything.

About our Show BANANA PRIDE:

„An european white bored woman sitting in a sauna wish to make a happy play. The overall frame of Banana Pride™ is a failed Brazilian cabaret, hosted by an indigenous Carmen Miranda whose child dream was to be blond on the stages of Germany. “Yes! We have bananas!” But these bananas that we have to swallow hurt our throat. We explore the themes of: genocide of indigenous people and destruction of the rainforest in Brazil, objectification of the latino female body, and (im)possibility of survival under a fascist power. With personal stories and a series of comical vignettes, we embrace the bizarre images that others have placed upon our bodies and bring it to the level of absurdity.“

A collective hug and take a sip of “cachaça” before starting our show BANANA PRIDE! What kind of rituals do you do to relax and be present?
We love this picture, we love this moment captured by the amazing @mari.vass 🖤

Just because we are missing this vibe! Just because we are missing the stage!

Venha para o aconselhamento da Doutora Helga e saia talvez pior do que entrou. A doutora Helga Anna Uó de Albuquerque Matarazzo oferece um espaço de escuta para você poder ser egoista, errada, torta, fracassada. CONTINUA NOS COMENTÁRIOS!

ABA NAIA uses tools of the clown technique to create comedy. It's not about using colorful costumes or a red nose. The laughter comes from direct contact and connection with the audience. Through our encounter with the outside, the clown works with themes like imperfection and fragility. For us, “clown” is a state of being and that means connecting with others, being here and now, questioning yourself, opening up, trusting yourself. This vigilance creates the ridiculousness and this allows us for example, to look at the issues of “being a woman” from unusual angles.
::

ABA NAIA benutzt Werkzeuge der clownesken Technik, um Komik zu erstellen. Dabei geht es nicht darum, bunte Kostüme oder eine rote Nase zu benutzen. Das Lachen entsteht durch den direkten Kontakt und die Verbindung mit dem Publikum. Durch ihre Begegnung mit der Welt stellt die Clownin diese in Frage und zeigt dabei ihre Unvollkommenheit und ihre Fragilität. Für uns ist “Clown” ein Daseinszustand und das bedeutet sich mit anderen zu verbinden, hier und jetzt zu sein, sich zu hinterfragen, sich zu öffnen, sich zu trauen. Anhand dieser Wachsamkeit entsteht die Lächerlichkeit und dadurch können wir die Thematiken des “Frauseins” von ungewöhnlichen Blickwinkeln betrachten.

It was supposed to post in the morning, but we are posting at night. So, please, don’t listen now. Listen it tomorrow morning. 🖤 https://open.spotify.com/episode/10TwMJRfrpB486ei8xC8ph?si=Vu9d1G-YTGathvehP0DB1w
