Performances: Teo Ala-Ruona /Anabolic SpectacleGalleri Steinsland Berliner, Stockholm, 2025
8th nov 16 - 17.00 (including a break and a subsequent artist talk with curator Alexandra Campbell
Anabolic Spectacle is a text-based solo performance that draws
inspiration from the language of men’s online magazines, transforming
their words into feverish dream scenarios of a violent quest for
self-mastery over the body.
It seeks to articulate a labyrinthe of fantasies, restless nights and
the impact of the categorical gaze on a non-normative body, comparing
the audience’s gaze to the scrutinizing stares in public spaces.
The performance sees the transmasculine body as an incompatible
territory for hegemonic masculine narratives – a realm where the
capitalist ideals of the optimized self begin to crumble. Anabolic
Spectacle is a collaborative creation between performance artist Teo
Ala-Ruona and dramaturg Even Minn.
