All I Crave

In the organizer's words:

The media phenomenon of tradwives (traditional wives) reflects the passivity and obliviousness to the world in Anton Chekhov's play Three Sisters (1901). These influencers are rich, privileged, usually very young women who provide insights into their lives as happy mothers and partners on social networks. On the internet, they celebrate weddings and baby showers on a grand scale, bake bread and clean textiles, while society is undergoing a huge shift to the right. The high number of clicks on the tradwives is an indication that conservatism is in vogue in times of crisis. It is the unambiguousness of these images of peaceful, carefree domesticity that appeals to us so much.

n All I Crave, the five-member ensemble tries to come close to an ideal of femininity as "momfluencers" and "stay-at-home-girlfriends". Their task is to make each of their activities look easy. After all, they all agree that love should not look like work. Their initially seemingly balanced lifestyle drifts off, first appearing strained, then grotesque and creepy. The reassuring unambiguity turns out to be a threat.
