Can the body be a territory for sustainable agricultural development? Can a brain orgasm be transformed into a source of renewable energy?

 

This performance is a hybrid narrative device that hacks the focus group format. Where Isabel Burr Raty exposes the farming technologies employed in the Beauty Kit farm, which recycle human erotic juices for the manufacture of unique transpersonal skin and care lines. Warmly inviting the public to try out some of these gender neutral products and be entangled with economies of pleasure exchange, she unveils contemporary and ancestral perspectives on the body’s orgasmic agencies, pointing out some socio-scientific gaps regarding sexuality.
