Like Lovers Do - Memoirs of Medusa by Sivan Ben Yishai is a radical retelling of the Medusa myth.
A woman who has been stylized as a monster figure raises her voice - against violence, against patriarchal structures and against thousands of years of silence. In a kaleidoscopic web of memory, trauma, desire and resistance, the text asks: What does it mean to be socialized and violated as a woman in a patriarchal world?
For the graduating class of the Cologne Theater Academy, this work is far more than an artistic challenge.
The play says what many women cannot say without being judged. It gives a voice to those affected - me, my friends, my fellow students. And probably every other person in the audience.
Directed by André Erlen, the result is a raw, precise and deeply contemporary production that does not shy away from vulnerability - and at the same time opens up new narratives.
