Chopping Onions is an interactive experimental opera about Anaís Azul’s relationship to the kitchen as it plays out within themselves, their communities, and their grandmothers. Throughout the work, they share memories, reflections, and questions about their relationship to the kitchen all while preparing a meal. These include anecdotes they have of feeling traumatized in the kitchen and questions about gender roles, and machismo. Chopping Onions heavily reflects on the emotional load of being socialized as a woman and what that means especially in the context of Latin America.
