Don't silence me because you don´t like my voice

Connecting with the mythological figure of Medusa, Liraz is interacting with different aspect of identity and visibility, leaving marks and traces of the different layers of herself on her own body, in the space and within the audience.

“Censor the body and you censor breath and speech at the same time. Write yourself. Your body must be heard.”

― Hélène Cixous, ‘The Laugh of the Medusa’, 1975
