Stranded Statue is the third episode of Monica, a speculative telenovela that Pablo Lilienfeld and Federico Vladimir will be working on during their two-week residency at Tanzhaus Zürich. Monica is the name of their two mothers. Both were born in Argentina in the 1950s, daughters of European war refugees, and both emigrated to Spain as adults. Moreover, both were image makers: Monica Lilienfeld's ecofeminist paintings and Monica Pezdirc's erotic photographs are the starting point of this speculative telenovela. In Monica, the heteronormative and teleological genealogy is subverted, forming a tentacular genealogy in which not only the epic of wars, migrations and other patriarchal-historicist narratives coexist, but also those that have been left out: expected and unexpected relatives, ghosts, lovers, viruses, gestures, songs and more.

The work-in-progress Sharing will be followed by a brief audience discussion.
