Nanette: el margen profundo de nuestra risa (2017)

El último grito de Netflix es Nanette. Y quienes ya la vimos quedamos varios días con el corazón en la mano .

La comediante y Licenciada en Artes Hannah Gadsby, australiana, es definitivamente el tema de conversación social de esta semana. Su espectáculo Nanette, un especial de stand-up de 1:10 hs. disponible en Netflix desde el 19 de junio, se mete a través de anécdotas y reflexiones sobre su historia personal y profesional en las cuestiones más grises del humor y de su estructura. Casi spoiler: mientras en el nivel de lo discursivo y gestual ella parece enredarse, los que quedamos inmóviles casi envenenados como en una tela de araña somos nosotros. Ella, en realidad, está construyendo una crisálida de verdades dolorosas y naturalizadas alrededor nuestro.

En el nivel actoral y sobre todo al principio, los recursos a los que apela Hannah son los conocidos para cualquiera que mire stand-up. Comentario al comentario, gestos típicos. Nos preguntamos, durante los primeros minutos, por qué tanto revuelo. Parece que la cosa no crece. Y cuando menos lo esperamos, tenemos el escenario absolutamente tomado por esta mujer diciendo por qué es momento de abandonar el humor para ella, y detallando de qué se han alimentado sus rutinas durante tanto tiempo. A partir de ahora, no podremos salir ni dejar de escuchar.

“La risa es el mejor remedio”, solemos escuchar. Bien, Nanette discute esta hipótesis desde la perspectiva de una reflexión crítica sobre el humor. Una crítica que, a su vez, podemos pensar como profundamente feminista: Y lo peor: tal vez no quieran curarse.

Abandonar el humor tal como lo conocemos una vez que junto a Nanette descubrimos de qué se alimenta ese “humor”, además de ser sanador es cada vez más un acto de rebeldía. Ya no nos causan gracia ciertos chistes, ciertos remates. Ya nuestra risa no es patrimonio de nadie más. La risa que nos provocaba cierto humor nunca curó nada.

En este sentido -y a esta altura del show ya estamos llorando asintiendo frente a la tele sin poder escapar- llegamos a la conclusión de lo peligroso y siniestro que es el hecho de que nuestra risa y nuestra sensibilidad estén en manos del mainstream y en particular de algunas personas, que tuvieron hasta ahora el poder de hacernos reír y de decir qué es lo conmovedor. Qué es lo gracioso, qué es el humor.

Nanette es un ensayo potente con forma de grito. No plantea un nuevo camino, pero sí la necesidad de construirlo: nuevas risas vendrán.

Opening on June 2… It’s Pablo-matic: Picasso According to Hannah Gadsby.

Fifty years have passed since the death of artist and cultural icon, Pablo Picasso. He’s a mainstay of the modernist art historical canon and a household name whose artwork sells for record prices, but what does his legacy look like in 2023 through a contemporary lens? A critical lens? A feminist lens? 

Using their incisive humor, comedian Hannah Gadsby worked with our curators, Lisa Small and Catherine Morris, to consider Picasso’s work through the aforementioned lenses in It’s Pablo-matic. The exhibition includes nearly 100 works including pieces by Picasso and selections by twentieth- and twenty-first-century feminist artists such as Dindga McCannon, Betty Tompkins, and Kaleta Doolin. Highlighting Gadsby’s voice alongside those of many of the included artists, the exhibition reckons with complex questions around misogyny, creativity, the art-historical canon, and who gets to be a “genius.”

Kristoff from Frozen II has been lauded as a feminist icon, I've noticed. That's a bit of a stretch. He revealed genuine emotion, offered mutual support, and expressed love for Anna. That's standard shit. Icons are next level.

Reminds me of something Hannah Gadsby said in her show, Douglas. She said that to achieve sainthood, Saint Bernard only had to put in minimal fucking effort. Another saint, a woman, had to learn the cello, but all Bernard had to do was have a wet dream where Mother Mary lactated on his face.

My point is, hold men to a higher standard. Kristoff is a role model, not an icon. He did what the situation demanded, what any loving partner should do. There's probably not more he could've done to become an icon in that film, given he was a supporting character. But in general, more is required to make one a feminist icon.

9, 13, and 16 for the questions, please!

9. A book that was better than you expected it to be The Mirror Season by Anna-Marie McLemore - I'd tried their books in the past and couldn't get into them but this once intrigued me, being a Snow Queen retelling, and it just suited me so well. I'm gonna try more of their books in 2023!

13. The funniest book you read this year 10 Steps to Nanette by Hannah Gadsby, no question. love that lady

16. A book you already want to reread ooh ok I'm not much of a re-reader but maybe Half Sick of Shadows by Laura Sebastian. a very satisfying standalone fantasy novel featuring characters from Arthurian legend, centred around the Lady of Shallot ^.^

thank you <3

send me a number 1-40 for end of year book asks!

“The Favourite” scores the top spot at the Dorian Awards

This week, GALECA, the Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (of which I am a proud member) announced their annual Dorian Awards for excellence in film and television. It is awards season after all, and this list of winners and nominees were solely curated by queer, trans and non-binary writers and critics who work in the entertainment media world. The acclaimed 1700s lesbian love triangle film, The Favourite, took the top prize as did its star, Olivia Colman. A Golden Globe and a Dorian? Surely an Oscar is next. LGBTQ Film of the year went to the Melissa McCarthy helmed, Can You Ever Forgive Me? which is based on the life of lesbian writer and sometimes con artist, Lee Israel. Just like the Globes, Sandra Oh picked up a Dorian for her excellent work in Killing Eve, the cat and mouse, will they or won’t they, thriller from BBC America. The delightfully delicious A Simple Favor, starring Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick, picked up the Campy Flick of the Year award. Frankly, Lively’s collection of tuxes in the film deserve their own award. The Wilde Wit of the Year award, “which honors a performer, writer or commentator whose observations both challenge and amuse” went to comedian Hannah Gadsby, whose stand-up Netflix special, Nanette, was a real game-changer.
