The female body carries a history of wounds throughout the centuries. Murders and rapes of women around the world, clitoridectomy in African countries, women covered with Chadors in Iran, Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan, women covered with Burkas in the Persian Gulf, death by stoning in India, family homicides in Pakistan, baby girls thrown in the trash upon birth in China, excision still happens today in some countries in Africa.

The female body that brings life into the world has the right to expression, sexuality, to wearing whatever it wants, to creating, falling in love, to growing old, leaving, to be free. This performance concerns the female body but also the redefinition of the position of the women today.

Aynadamar: An important place as far back as when the Arabs were in the area. The whole region of Andalusia was supplied with water through that spring, reaching as far as Madrid. Several years later, the poet and playwright Federico Garcia Lorca is taken there to be executed. His work in turn supplied the whole Spain and spread to the rest of the world.
