Aay Liparoto is a neurodivergent queer artist/director whose intuitively based practice tenderly unpacks the impact of social constructs on different forms of intimacy in daily life. With their playful and approachable style as well as engaging storytelling, the work seduces the audience into their surreal yet familiar universe. Their work invites their public to interact, creating friction by asking you to look at your own behaviour and to gently question the invisible social constructs that govern you, especially in connection to laws, forms of bureaucracy, (un)written social protocols or nostalgia. In this way, they highlight the influence of these structures on the everyday reality of our bodies and relationships as well as our own agency.
