Yira, Yira was more of a doc-theatre piece than an actual play. Co-directors Bruno IsakoviΔ and NataΕ‘a RajkoviΔ spent several months with four Argentinian sex workers, leading to their theater piece, Yira, Yira (Cruising, Cruising,) which reveals aspects of sex work and fights against some of the stereotypes we have.Β Performed by actual sex workers – 2 men, 1 woman, and 1 transvestite – we enter the world of sex work defined both by personal choice and circumstances. We also become aware that at the same time, we are talking about their work conditions in general, demand and supply, healthcare, and other benefits afforded to any other working person in Argentina.
