Pagan
Pinacoteca
São Paulo, Brazil
Paperback
91 pages

Pagan narrates a ritual celebration of the female body, its pleasure, its freedom and its vivid insubordination. Conceived by Regina Parra (São Paulo, 1984) as an exhibition and performance program for the second floor of Pinacoteca Estação, the transdisciplinary project brings together the visual arts with other languages, such as theater, music, literature, dance and cinema. In this work, conceived as a tragedy with nine scenes, the artist intertwines different narratives and times: Greek mythology: the Villa of Mysteries (2nd century BCE) in Pompeii, Italy, the book A paixão segundo G.H. (1964), by Clarice Lispector, and so many other stories starring women. Edited as a theatrical libretto, this catalog presents the rubrics of all the scenes that make up the script of Pagan, as well as an interview with Regina Parra and information about the main collaborators of the project. On the map of this great labyrinth, some clues are given to cross it.
