Blondi arises from the idea of telling the history of humanity in a different way. Blondi was Adolf Hitler's dog, a German shepherd that he sacrificed before committing suicide. She is not just any dog; she is the Führer's dog. Führer is a German word that means guide, leader, or conductor. Blondi is a multidisciplinary performance with movement as the main tool, where past, present, and future converge, with a provocative and queer aesthetic in a social and political landscape marked by significant changes, crises, and identity freedoms, and contexts where political stances in some countries sometimes remind us of a not-so-distant past.
In a time where the public and private blur, in a time of social media, a YouTuber, a new spiritual, social, and economic guide (a new Führer), seeks followers by making a tutorial on a yoga pose: the downward-facing dog. Gradually, the YouTuber guide becomes a dog, Blondi, the Führer's dog, no longer knowing if he is a guide, a follower, who his owner is, if he truly has an owner, if he commands or obeys. A dog whose destiny is sacrifice or maybe not. A tribute to freedom and beauty that questions who we are in the current world.
Blondi is a dog-performance that decides to stop in a frenetic world to think about what is happening.
