Stuck! Stuck! Stuck!

By Iulia Benze

Meet Julia and David. A female vicenarian and a male sexagenarian. They are both repetitive and stuck in their own traumatic sexuality. Strongly believing that a performance could drive the audience completely insane, they both invite you at Stuckist Psychoanalytic Performance (SPP). It promotes self-discovery quest for authenticity, having subjects as a performer's neurosis or innocence, creating unseen psychological realities using means as shock, gimmick and Artaudian Cruelty. Stuckism starts at the stopping point. Placed under the umbrella of psychoanalysis through concepts as repetitive compulsion, estrangement and melancholia, our object is to performatively break an Estic taboo regarding age gap and to explore intergenerational aspects and sexuality in an interactional non representational discourse.

Stuckist Psychoanalytic Performance dwells in the traumatic repetition in which severe and painful surgery heart athleticism is involved.

Iulia Benze

Iulia Benze is a performance maker and an experimental film performer/actor.
Iulia had her first solo shows in galleries and theatres in 2004-2005. Her background is three years of classical acting in which she got acquainted with the Stanislavski method. Gradually, in the construction of her characters, unwittingly, she passed from classical acting to performance, a phenomenon untaught yet in Romania.

Under the Theatre of Cruelty umbrella of Antonin Artaud, Iulia Benze blends theatre with multidiscipline in dance, circus skills and visual arts, combining psychoanalysis with performance in a new genre of performative artistic act coined as Stuckist Psychoanalytic Performance. (SPP).
