Director Statement
In my artistic journey, I am driven by an unwavering commitment to the feminist cause, sparking a passionate exploration of gender and the social fabric that shapes our identities. As a versatile artist in writing, directing, and performing, I immerse myself in the profound depths of these subjects, seeking to break free from conventional boundaries by creating an art that resonates with the pulse of a contemporary discourse.

In the immersive embrace of Buenos Aires, Argentina, a profound epiphany unfolds through the extraordinary sagas of women, spanning generations and diverse cultural hues. This transcendent encounter births a universal revelation—the essence of femininity defies confines of borders and cultural moorings. This metamorphic odyssey reshapes my perception of womanhood, enkindling a zeal to sculpt an authentic and empathic narrative mirroring these women's lives. Their boundless spirit bequeaths life to the kaleidoscopic "Feminine Singular," a testament to resilience, strength, and unwavering individuality.

Embarking upon "Feminine Singular's" exhilarating expedition, audiences entwine with captivating tales, transcending conventional boundaries through a visual symphony. Bodies become vessels of profound expression, testimonies cascading like emancipating waves. As girls and women, aged 4 to 80, enrapture the camera, magnetic presence blurs personal and collective realms, immersing viewers in the raw splendor of diverse stories, interlacing perspectives into an embroidered tapestry of collective experience. Themes of justice, resilience, diversity, maternity, sexuality, social perception, equality, and more delve into human essence.

Breaking new ground in cinematic expression, "Feminine Singular" pioneers the genre of the performatic documentary —a revolutionary fusion of performance art and documentary filmmaking. Combining evocative performances with intimate interviews, the film creates an immersive experience that dissolves the boundaries between observer and participant. This innovative approach empowers viewers to become active co-creators of the narrative, enriching the emotional landscape and forging a profound personal resonance with the film.

My hope burgeons that "Feminine Singular" engenders metamorphosis, a catalyst for dialogue, unity, and celebration of shared humanity—nurturing acceptance, reflection, and harmonious coexistence. By highlighting the universality of human experiences and the intricacies of womanhood, the film becomes a universal language of connection and understanding, transcending cultural and geographical boundaries.
