Ae you coming? by Mariana Fonseca is almost all based on image and movement underlines the urgency of integrating a future where the feminine is not synonymous with an inferior social identity. Starred by the author, it explores, through different artistic languages, an alter-ego that refuses to devalue herself as a Woman through an analysis of toxic and violent relationships. 

This show is almost all based on image and movement, being the final part an extended monologue about the author's experience in an abusive relationship.
