This article presents an analysis of contemporary performance art carried out by women in Galicia; a complex issue if we consider that the nature of the discipline is a practically unexplored matter. Our reflection begins by defining the typology and particularities of Galician performance art. After that, we address the performance art context in Galicia and, finally, we examine the production of three artists that we consider essential: María Marticorena, Ana Gesto and María Roja. Our methodology emerges from a thorough search of available bibliographic resources, updated fieldwork through interviews, and tracking of photographic and videographic documentation. We have opted for a qualitative interview, focused on the artists analysed in the article which can be consulted as "Annex I", attached at the end of the text. This article unveils performance art that starts in the second half of the first decade of the new century, with the almost exclusive presence of women developing heterogeneous themes but influenced by the Galician cultural context. They haven’t had institutional support or been part of self-management movements, so frequent in other parts of Spain.

Starting with Antonin Artaud's radio play To Have Done With The Judgement Of God, this article analyses the ways in which Artaud's idea of the body without organs links up with various of his writings on the body and bodily theatre and with Deleuze and Guattari's later development of his ideas. Using Klossowski (or Klossowski's Nietzsche) to explain how the dominance of dialogue equals the dominance of God, I go on to examine how the Son (the facialised body), the Father (Language) and the Holy Spirit (Subjectification), need to be warded off in order to revitalize the body, reuniting it with ‘the earth’ it has been separated from. Artaud's writings on Balinese dancing and the Tarahumaran people pave the way for the new body to appear. Reconstructing the body through bodily practices, through religion and above all through art, as Deleuze and Guattari suggest, we are introduced not only to new ways of thinking theatre and performance art, but to life itself.
