Monga
Jéssica Teixeira shines bright boxing ring lights on the brutality that
societal conceptions of normality exercise on bodies. Starting with the
story of Julia Pastrana, a multitalented Mexican artist known as the
“monkey woman”, who was brutally exploited in freakshows of the 19th
century and didn't peace even after death. Teixeira crafts a mosaic out of
philosophical reflection, infectious songs, radical performance art and
humour. In the light of the disco ball, she invites us to distinguish
between the myth of reality and not repeating the past. 2025 winner of the
prestigious Shell Awards, Brazil, for Best Director.
