The "combative and feminist" rap of La Furia and the humor of Irantzu Varela revolutionized the Víctor Fernández Gopar "El Salinero" Theater in Arrecife last Saturday, putting the finishing touch to the agenda of events organized by the Equality, Education and Youth area of the Cabildo de Lanzarote to commemorate International Women's Day.
Nerea Lorón, artistically known as La Furia, presented in Lanzarote her latest and fourth album, which bears the title of "Post Mortem". An album full of "badass songs", as she defined them, and which are a cry for feminist freedom.
Her messages "full of rage and vindication against the heteropatriarchal system" flooded the Insular Theater. In addition, La Furia also sang to love, to "good love", to that of those women in our lives "who take you by the hand and help you get ahead despite whoever it may concern." "Because that thing that among us we are very bad is a little story that we are ceasing to believe", said the artist, who stated that it was "a great luxury" to be able to perform in Lanzarote, an island that she said she visits "whenever she can". Even, on this occasion she took advantage of her stay to record a video clip.
Before La Furia's concert, the audience was also able to enjoy the "feminist and stark" humor of activist and journalist Irantzu Varela, who staged her malicious monologue "Villana".
In addition, both gave empowerment workshops for women on Friday, April 8, also at the "El Salinero" Theater. In the case of Irantzu Varela, she offered a workshop on "Feminist theory and mobilization, male violence, romantic love and heteropatriarchal oppression", while La Furia gave a workshop using "Rap as a tool for feminist empowerment".
