ME MONUMENTA! is een solo gecreëerd door Karine Guizzo. Zij haalt haar inspiratie uit de natuur, waar mannetjes met hun 'parure' in kleurrijke verleidingen pronken om vrouwtjes te verleiden. Eveneens haalt zij inspiratie uit extravagante drag-shows, waar uitbundinge looks en acts te zien zijn.
ME MONUMENTA! is een experimentele compositie van dans en beeldende kunst waarin we 'Wij mensen als monumenten' vieren. De solo wordt gepresenteerd op bijzondere locaties tijdens en rondom de Open Monumentendagen in Den Haag.

ME MONUMENTA! is a solo created by Karine Guizzo. Her inspiration comes from nature, where males flaunt their ‘parure’ in colorful seduction to attract females, but also from the extravagant drag shows with their lavish looks and acts.
The performance is an experimental composition of dance and visual art, in which we celebrate ’We humans as monuments’. The solo will be presented in unusual locations during the ‘Monumenten dagen’ in The Hague.
One extra performance in a public space,
Saturday, September 10th - 2.30 pm.
Location: Spuiplein, in front of Amare.
