The artist Marta Minujin is invited anyone interested to take part of her new strong performance which she calls “Find Your Opposite”. Closing this special festival, this unusual event occurs at Puerto Madero’s women’s Bridge as part of the Performance Biennial.
As a first step, they may participate in an app session where they will struggle to find their ‘opposite soul’—to find an individual entirely different from themselves. Minujín, for instance, is slightly more provocative in her guidelines than most people: she says the opposite of ‘soul mate.’ “Come to the Women’s Bridge in white or black clothing” – this is a command that Minujin chooses to convey through the app and never in person. The performance will start at 4 p.m. at Saturday, March 16 and is free of charge.
As of now, on more than two thousand people registered for the event, each of them paired with an “opposite soul.” To crown the event in style, Minujín will hover above the audience in a helicopter, showering them with white petals and violet-colored petals, the second option chosen by Minujin as it is ‘the color most akin to black’ in her own words.
In the interview given to La Nación, she also elaborated on how things are not always what they seem through her experience with her children’s father, Juan Carlos Gómez Sabaini. “I mean, I didn’t get economics, and I’m very disorganized. He was super organized,” she would say. “He was passionate about sailing, and I had never ever been on a boat; it scared the life out of me.”
