Deine Kämpfe - meine Kämpfe

In the organizer's words:

Women's rights are human rights and, like these, are still not an existing reality today. Human rights were also created by men. Today, the feminist fight against gender inequality has long been part of an intersectional struggle against all forms of injustice and oppression.
Can personal stories of women from the "Frankfurt Women's Council" of the time provide inspiration for concrete utopias for a diverse "next generation"? "The shame is over" and "My belly belongs to me" were important slogans. For the young ensemble, who immersed themselves in the themes and struggles of the Frankfurt women's movement with lawyer, feminist and former "Weiberrats" activist Sibylla Flügge on the rehearsal stage, the shame was not over. Fears, self-doubt, feelings of guilt, experiences of powerlessness and violence as well as anger were initially perceived as individual fate or personal inability.

A thoroughly enjoyable adventure into the veiled gender injustice and the exclusions of a still patriarchal system began. The players and the ensemble got moving, pulled open closed curtains, found their voices on the way to more physicality, the right to self-determination and the question: How does solidarity work?
