“I encourage everyone to attend tonight’s show. It is the last, and is short (50 minutes), so plenty of time to incorporate into other plans. The show, – Bio’ngo — is simply gorgeous. Visually decadent, impactful, and a meditative expression into experiences of colonization, of belonging, of communication, of community and otherness. The music was written for the show, and all are local performers. Truly, the heart of what collaboration and solidarity means….
It Is cheaper than a movie at 15$!”

Review from a member of the audience from yesterday’s show.

La trayectoria de Avendaño ha sido nombrada de múltiples maneras: artivismo, militancia desobediente, disidencia sexual, folklore rural, indianidad ladina, fealdad fenotípica, analfabetismo cultural, teatro callejero, happening, sketch, monólogo del resentimiento, poesía de atril, ocurrencias mariconas, improvisaciones travestis, leperadas, mal gusto, pornográfico, “Art Nako” y/o desaparición forzada. Para ella, estas maneras de ser nombrada, solo deja en evidencia una narrativa hegemónica que se construye desde lo que Avendaño llama “la tesis con falla de origen sistémica”, de ahí, que habite su quehacer, desde lo que refiere como “antropología aplicada a la escenificación”, “instalación para cuerpo humano”, “performatividad de la cotidianidad”. Acentuando la tesis que su existencia misma sea concebida; un relato del daño colateral de esta “falla de origen” epistémica y ontológica.
