Quando ho visto Minor Threat!, la prima cosa che mi è venuta in mente è stata Sia. Forse per le parrucche, forse per quegli sguardi così forti, o per quell’energia un po’ teatrale e un po’ ribelle che attraversa tutta la storia.
Poi ho pensato a me da bambina, davanti all’armadio di mia mamma. Provavo i suoi vestiti troppo lunghi, le scarpe troppo grandi e immaginavo di essere qualcun altro. Io, per esempio, volevo diventare una cantante lirica.
Ed è proprio questo che mi piace di Minor Threat!. Le bambine giocano con tutto: abiti da sera vintage e guantoni da boxe, parrucche colorate e corone di stoffa, pantaloncini da thai boxe e liquirizia rossa. Non c’è una regola, e non deve esserci.
Perché quando i bambini si travestono prendono pezzi di mondi diversi e ne inventano uno tutto loro.
Un po’ regine, un po’ pugili, un po’ pop star.

Minor Threat? Maybe. But only a little. (Petra Barkhof)
