Projektbeschreibung:

SWEAT

Cheering and sweating, the performers develop an intersectional-feminist, twelve-excercise event from practices in which they feel like champions:

There’s dance and empathy, solidarity and compliments; in between they breathe and pay tribute to the heroes we have to thank for our knowledge of solidarity. With award ceremonies, video broadcasts and emotionally charged soundtracks, this entertaining sports event takes its course without competitive pressure, taking instead a critical look at the winners’ podium: For whom are positions available there? And who is a festival called “The Future is Female*” actually aimed at? A moving performance in 12 acts that makes you sweat.

Supported by the Capital Cultural Fund, the Ministry of Science and Culture of Lower Saxony and the LOTTO Foundation. With the support of Theaterhaus Mitte.
