Pere Faura Striptease is a striptease to the theater and to its gaze. A striptease, a performance and lecture ironically comparing and made fun theatrical art of undressing. What we expect to see when we go to the theater? And when will we see a striptease? And when will we see a piece of theater called Striptease? Striptease talks about those expectations, mechanism generation of desire in both conventions and the relationship seduction between performer and spectator, where his glance becomes finally the main role for this striptease.

“ Striptizë” nga Pere Faura, është një striptizë në teatër dhe në vështrimin e tij. Një striptizë, një shfaqje dhe leksion ironie,  krahasuar dhe e bërë humor me artin teatral të zhveshjes. Cfarë presim ne të shohim kur të shkojmë në teatër?Dhe kur do të shohim një striptizë? Kur do të shohim një pjesë të teatrit të titulluar Striptizë?  Striptiza ben fjale për pritjet, mekanizmin që gjenerone dëshirën në të dy konvencionet, si dhe marrëdhëniet joshëse mes interpretuesit dhe spektatorit, ku shikimi i tij bëhet më në fund roli kryesor për këtë striptizë.

“Anticipation of an idea“, “an attribute to postmodernism“, “an artificial construction of eroticism“… What am I talking about? Striptease, of course! From Pere Faura´s semiotic discourse we´ve learned that striptease can be lot more than just ignoble entertainment. The show itself is proof! At first we are watching a parody of a famous movie scene from Striptease with Demi Moore. There´s a camera recorder on a tripod facing the audience, but it doesn’t seem to have any special purpose. To our surprise, the spectators‘ reactions had been recorded during the show and end up being projected on a big screen. What a trick! Besides the witty and sophisticated lecture on the phenomenology of striptease, I loved watching the scene from the movie and Pere´s simultaneous interpretation of the choreography. The whole show was built on a hilarious and smart concept.
