Asumo con total villanía

Abstract

I fully assume villainy is a scenic and acting reflection that emerges from the creative process of a group of performers who, inspired by female figures such as Alejandra Pizarnik and Amy Winehouse, reconfigure Joseph Campbell’s (1949) “hero’s journey” into a “journey of the anti-heroine.” This undergraduate project is built from practice and personal experience rather than theoretical research, addressing themes such as love, temptation, art, downfall, and death through the actresses’ sensitivity and corporeality. By exploring pain, vulnerability, and feminine self-perception, the authors challenge traditional notions of heroism, redemption, and success, proposing an intimate, political, and poetic scenic discourse. The stage becomes a liminal space—between life and death, the real and the symbolic—where the anti-heroines engage in dialogue with themselves, their references, and the audience, constructing a territory of resistance and creation through the conscious act of assuming their own villainy.
