For ten hours, Carolina Bianchi and her company Cara de Cavalo traverse the three parts of the Trilogia Cadela Força; an impressive fresco exploring the unbreakable links between art history and violence. In Portuguese, surtitled in French

Capitulo I:

Haunted by the tragic fate of Italian performance artist Pippa Bacca, Carolina Bianchi undertakes to unearth fragments of an art history marked by rapes and femicides. Faced with this genealogy of artists exposed to violence, she conducts her own investigation. Under the effect of Boa Noite, Cinderela (a powerful sedative), she abandons her consciousness; her writing then carves a path in the interstitial space between life and death, that nightmare where the women and artists whose traces she seeks reappear.

Capitulo II:

Returned from the limbo, Carolina Bianchi dissects the fraternal bonds that underpin the art world: a brotherhood whose codes and language originate in violence and misogyny. She then probes her own ambivalence towards these “great masters” of theatre, towards this Brotherhood from which she cannot so easily detach herself, and opens the doors to a theatre in crisis, whose only way out might be the deflagration of a radical poetry.

Capitulo III:

Carolina Bianchi concludes her trilogy by exploring the mystery of writing, which she associates with the enigma of her own sexuality. Through a rich assemblage of drafts, notebooks, and notes, she invokes the figures of other female authors – Hilda Hilst, Emily Dickinson – blending her voice with their words. Multiplying alter egos, she opens up a space conducive to fantasy, and particularly to that produced by the act of writing.
