Queerytales: Snow White & The Seven Deadly Sins: Chapter 2 The Whispers
Jynx Prado
The performance questions queer bodies in odd places, positions, vulnerability, and their stories in the context of fairytale. The stories and anecdotes in the audio player throughout the piece question the social norms and notions about publicly presenting as queer in vulnerable spaces in a time where anti trans and anti queer movements are on the rise. The audience can hear the stories told and interpret them as they see fit while thinking of who they are and where they are.
Jynx Prado critiques social, cultural, & natural environments & the coexistence of them through an interdisciplinary practice. Prado creates sculptures, performances & visuals that intertwines queerness, their Latino/a/x/e community & historical & mythological texts. They create humorous & yet uncanny characters to embody the irony & absurdity of their world.
