“Beauty. Performance in a painting” is a contemporary dance show in which the sole protagonist, Ruxandra Enache, paints a very vivid story about what it means to be a woman in the contemporary consumerist society. She manages to do that by using the graceful movements of her body, and a little bit of acting. As expected, the main theme of this show is the woman, and her struggles as she is trying to reach the unattainable beauty standards. We can say that by doing so, she is entrusting her self-worth to the people around her, drawing happiness from the compliments regarding her looks. The human female learns, at least intuitively, from an early age that the prettier she is the more she is socially accepted.
The show is full of metaphors and hidden messages, as it presents various hypostases in which today’s woman seeks, within herself and the people she encounters along her way, trust, confirmation and love. It exemplifies the exciting and long-lasting, profoundly feminine rituals of beauty.
This performance addresses a very important issue: accepting yourself as you are, flaws and all. Everyone should treasure themselves for who they are and not give their appearance too much thought, because, after all, your heart should be the most beautiful thing about yourself.
