   "Sexual Capital" is performance premiered at Starptelpa performance festival in Riga, Latvia, on 11/06/21. There are two performers - Jelena Glazova and Anna Štefane.
   Performance is inspired by M.Foucault ideas and works by K. Marx, that touch the topic of women's sexual role in society and her "sexual capital" that could grow and decrease. Women, taking part in performance, demonstrate ritual that reflects the game of biopolitical power.

    Collaboration with artist Vika Eksta - performance "Nebula Within" at Riga Performance Festival, Riga, June 2018

    Photos: Paulis Jakušonoks, Vika Eksta, Jeļena Glazova, Igors Gubenko, Anna Laine

    Performance is an artistic research on psychological reaction on sexual and psychological violence and individual practices of escapism that lead to disassociation and destruction of one's identity. It is inspired by a personality and tragic life story of the sister of Vika's grandmother Zonia who was deported to Germany for a forced labour as a teenager. Several years after returning home mental disorders started and followed her throughout her eighty five years long life. Zonia lives in several universes and sometimes her behavior was incomprehensible but she was very close person to Vika since childhood and inspired her for many interesting things. Sound space of the performance is based on the archive of vinyl records of “Big Medicine encyclopaedia” that was produced at the time when Zonia's mental illness was diagnosed - in the end of 1950s – beginning of 1960s.
    
    Performance is created and performed by Vika Eksta and Jeļena Glazova.
