'A Failed Annihilation (Libido, History and Me)' is a captivating one-hour monologue written and performed by Carlota Gurt that dives into a historically silenced subject: female libido. With clarity and irony, Gurt narrates her personal experiences intertwined with academic reflections and sharp humor, exploring narratives that have shaped women's desires over time. Often reduced to two extreme portrayals - the insatiable beast or the asexual, passive figure - the performance challenges these myths and questions entrenched moralities. Through her engaging narrative style, Gurt presents a dynamic dialogue featuring voices from Safo to Freud, creating an audacious and insightful piece that sheds light on the complexities of female desire. As Gurt explores the discrepancies in discussions about female libido throughout history, she raises provocative questions about desire's reality versus its myths, utilizing diverse materials from classic literature to modern-day anecdotes.
