Piñata time!

This is how it breaks

2017-2019

This is how it breaks a participative performance made for the exhibition Monstera Delicious, presented at the Blue Elephant Theatre (2017). The Mexican piñata tradition inspired this performance. I played a creature who pulled people from the audience to break the terror sculpture.

Alongside ArtNight, I created a series of bashing papier-mâché sculptures for TimeOut's 50th-anniversary event at Granary Square, London. Inspired by the Mexican tradition, piñatas are sculptures you bash with a wooden stick while blindfolded until gifts and sweets shower from their innards. The giant piñatas took centre stage, while a whimsical performer picked participants from the public to have a chance to bash the piñata.

It´s a trap

It's a trap! A couple of piñatas were made for the exhibition in Chalton Gallery (2017), and two years later, they were finally broken at Neo Norte (2019), an exhibition of Latin American artists.

Have you ever been caught in an ethical dilemma? The good and the bad appear on your shoulder, telling you what to do, but you can´t choose.
