OEDIPAL DISOBEDIENCE
OEDIPAL DISOBEDIENCE is a personal work focusing on the construction of our own true identity, the genesis and the loneliness of our lives.
Inspired by his personal story and referring to the myth of Oedipus and the Oedipus complex in psychoanalysis, Gabriel intent to reflect the duality of his own life materialising in his work the questions, the challenges, the doubts and the unknown he faced along his childhood till now.
Beyond the construction of his own resilience and the particularities of his life, Gabriel's audience is invited to rethink the establishment of the filiation, the inherited and constructed identity, the perceived image of our-self and beyond all the secrets and the lies from the backstage of our lives...
