MACBA es viu: Ready to Rebel

'Ready to Rebel' is a performance by Ariadna Guiteras where she explores contradictions of the counterculture and the practices of zen inherited from the 1960s, using yoga as an example and catalyst, within the current neoliberal paradigm. If performativity requires repetition to consolidate rule or convention, there is also the slight hope of failure and poor reproduction of potential forms of resistance. Similarly, failure and error can become tools to counter the use of yoga and other spiritual practices to increase productivity or defeat its exploitation in the world of fitness and beauty.
