Juana La Larga

Juana La Larga, a hermaphrodite whose case was described by Dr. Narciso Esparragosa in Guatemala in 1803, inspired this research-performance about the body and the forms of eroticism that do not conform to patriarchal society. Violence toward the female body continues to be a brutal reality in the first, third, and last world.
