From geja (“gay”, adjetive) +‎ -aĉ- (“pejorative”) +‎ -o. It’s read “gaiátcho” and means “faggot”, in Esperanto, a secondary universal language, created as a language that+s unifying and parallel to all languages. Gejaĉo is a change, a jump over the bonfire, a devutant solo dance, a ritual and, therefore, given all this, a transition. It’s a journey, a project of creation and experimentation of several rituals on the search for the creation of a new ritual which symbolizes de transition from the denial do the acceptance of homosexuality and which may also be a liturgy of acceptance and parity. Here we are humans, maybe demigods, celebrating the mysteries.

 

Um Coração Normal is a cycle dedicated to the themes of gender identity and sexual orientation, which includes three distinctive though complementary moments: identities, an informal convefsation on the topic, with first hand testimonies and and the participation of specialists; Vita & Virginiam from Eileen Atkins, a compilation of 20 years of letters between the writers Virginia Wopolf and Vita Sackville-Weat, in particular the correspondence exchanged throughout the 1920s, when they met and fell in love; and Gejaĉo, a performative act turned to ritual, where there’s the intention of transitioning from the individual biography to the inclusion of everyone  who wishes to be part of it.
