Elyla Sinverguenza: Countering Colonialism: A Queer Ritual of Healing

Growing up in rural Nicaragua, queer performance artist Elyla Sinverguenza (Fredman Barahona) endured the country’s toxic and ongoing legacy of colonialism. In their visceral new performance piece Saint Peter Goose/Duck Pulling, Sinverguenza transforms a violent and hyper-masculine ritual from the country’s patriarchal tradition into an immersive experience of healing for everyone alike.
