Kerana
The figure of Kerana, the sleeping maiden, inspired by popular myths and popularized by the literature of Narciso R. Colman, opens a field for exploration, according to artist Sonia Cabrera. "Tau ha Kerana" in the story "Nde ypykuéra" (Our Ancestors), Cabrera imagines the desires and impulses of this silent figure, immersed in sleep. She offers us a Kerana who uses sleep as a tool for existence and autonomy. This is the antithesis of the role of the Kuña guapa (working woman), a role that embodies all the desirable qualities in Paraguayan women according to gender conventions and labor expectations: tireless diligence, self-denial that nullifies one's own subjectivity, and loyalty to God, state, and family.
Although Tau, the other male character in the story, kidnaps Kerana, the curse affects her: her body carries seven cursed pregnancies and births. Sonia Cabrera conceives. a subsequent Kerana, a matron of sleep, but not of the dream field of the surrealists, but of the rebellious and unreasonable act of sleeping.
