Milk and Blood and Fanko B is something that I can really appreciate. Franko B makes his own costumes (?) or at least designs them. He has political basis to this work but though the name suggests that there is blood involved in the performance. There is not. Knowing Franko B’s performance work this builds a tension due to the brutality of his past performances. This is something I am interested in.
“Milk & Blood appropriates the aesthetics of boxing for thirteen two minute rounds of mental and physical endurance. Exploring themes of pain, eroticism, revulsion, ecstasy and masculinity, the performance becomes a metaphor for social struggle and the ability to overcome. ”( http://www.franko-b.com/works.html 2017)
