Crip multidisciplinary artist (dancer, performer, choreographer and workshop leader – artisan of dreams and challenger of compulsory normativity)

To perform is above all, in my case, an act of resistance.
To take a fragmented and awakened body to forbidden places in order to imprint an experience, a subjectivity. Each poetic action is an attempt to reclaim my body, my existence. Compulsory normativity violently insists on fitting me into places it invented in its process of colonization.
Performing is challenging that structure of control.

Rita Noutel in collaboration with Karúi López The cannibalism of normativity

performance art / action art / inaction art

In art, the crip body is used as a signifier long before the art work can speak for itself. My body is fragmented, my subjectivity erased and privileged normativity decides which narrative to associate with my creation.
My artistic experience is labeled therapeutic for me and inspirational for the viewer.
The domesticated eye is hungry for an aesthetic that provides moral comfort.
As an artist, I am dispossessed of the narrative of my work to be transformed into something consumable.

resident artist during the months of September, October, November and December 2025 at 22cubic, art residency focused on performance art, action and inaction art.
