Rota, the clowness,  sweeps into the room like a storm of sacred smoke, perfume, and disinfectant.

She hums old songs and invents new rituals. Half remembered, half improvised, all potent. Maybe they were always hidden in the folds of her grandmother’s apron.

With a sharp eye for stains and a sixth sense for bad energy, she scrubs, chants, feeds, and blesses, not out of duty, but desire.

     Her libido lives in everything she does: in the rhythm of sweeping, in the heat of boiling herbs, in the sensual folding of a freshly washed cloth. She doesn’t hide it; she lets it shimmer, spill, seduce.

She waits - not passively, but with fierce, theatrical longing - for the lover of her life, real or imagined. And in the waiting, she creates a world. A world where shame is wiped away, bodies are honored and care becomes a sacred, outrageous act.

     Part priestess, part nosy auntie, part sensual cyclone, Rota blurs the line between the holy and the hilarious. Through laughter, ritual and unapologetic tenderness, she invites you to remember what your body already knows.​​
