SPUCKEN WIR AUF HEGEL

Description

We have watched for 4000 years, now we have seen it." With this quote from the manifesto of Italian feminist Carla Lonzi, the performance by Barletti/Waas opens an evening of thinking together, questioning, and exploring equal relationships. In four conversations, the currently rediscovered pioneer of philosophical feminism in Italy discusses art, love, equality, and power relations with her ex-partner. It is about the role of women, the idealization of (male) genius, and the need for admiration. Lonzi's radical answer to all this was: "Geh ruhig!" The evening brings revolutionary texts from the 1970s with diary notes, letters, dreams, poems, and thoughts in dialogue. A journey through over five decades of feminism, philosophy, religion, family, and Marxism — towards a highly topical process of self-awareness. Songs, music, conversations, and breaks structure the shared reflection. The audience does not expect a finished story; they sit with the performers in the same thinking space, following the traces of the radical thinker Carla Lonzi and all the women who wanted to oppose the madness of patriarchal power. After sold-out performances in Berlin and guest appearances in Hamburg, Mannheim, and Flensburg, the TD co-production returns to the TD schedule before the trip to Munich.
