Look at her!

She is so anti-governmental,
On certain days of the month, also quite sentimental,
not yet parental,
even though she writes letters to her future daughters,
swimming the Atlantic waters,

with purple bruises on her neck.

She is quite spectacular,
quite ceremonial,
A glittery social parasite
She is so anti-colonial!

You look at her!

Interrupted Monologue is a performative piece that confronts the dangerous lovers who measure bodies by their usefulness. The protagonist is a self-proclaimed sick princess who keeps reappearing throughout the event (an opening, a dinner, a gathering), in public space, claiming her autotheory and divorcing her story from medical discourse. The lovers she addresses are the forces you desire even as they destroy you – a system, a state, a body. They are in the audience, in the waiting rooms, in the daily news. Through her report to the audience, symptoms become dramaturgical tactics, dismantling the myth of the coherent, abled body and rooting for the fractured voice of a sick girl*mutant.
