HIGH HEEL MARATHON

As Simone de Beauvoir said:
"You're not born a woman, you become a woman."

High Heel Marathon is a performance that reflects on the Social Standards of Womanhood and the Aesthetic Rituals we –girls/women- go through to try to achieve them by inviting the audience to witness a Marathon-Race in high heels as a Ritual to become a “Real/Proper/Super Woman”. 

Womanhood is the period in a female's life after she has transitioned through childhood and adolescence. Many cultures have rites of passage to symbolize a girl's coming of age, such as confirmation in some branches of christianity, bat mitzvah, in Judaism, or even just the custom of a special celebration for a certain birthday (generally between 12 and 21), like the Quinceañera of Latin America.

We must ask ourselves, in every interpretation of rite, about “the social function of the rite and the social significance of the boundaries or limits that the ritual allows to cross in a legitimate way” (Bourdieu, 1997: 117).
