Hornfuckers
Diana Niepce (PT)
Performance
A raw and poetic encounter with the body, power, and resistance, where norms are disrupted and new ways of existing emerge.

Hornfuckers explores how norms, hierarchies and systems shape the body, and what happens when they are pushed, questioned, and undone. Within a landscape where order and chaos coexist, the work examines how identity and expression are constantly in flux, and how the body can become a site of control, revolt, and transformation.

Working within a hybrid language that moves between dance, performance, and circus, the piece constructs a universe where reality and fiction blur. Through a physical and striking visual approach, the work reveals mechanisms of control and manipulation, while opening space for unpredictability and reconfiguration.

On stage, bodies exist in continuous tension between limitation and boundlessness. Movement shifts between the lyrical and the violent, between weight and suspension, challenging both gravity and fixed ideas of what a body is or can be. A space emerges where boundaries are unsettled, and where the relationship between domination and dependence is brought into focus.

Hornfuckers offers an intense and sensorial experience that invites reflection on who we are, what shapes us, and how the systems we exist within can both sustain and constrain us.
