TD Berlin: LET'S SPIT ON HEGEL!

"We have been watching 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, questioning and tentative exploration of equal relationships.In four conversations, the currently rediscovered pioneer of philosophical feminism discussed 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 response to all of this was: "Go ahead!"

The evening is the first work-in-progress showing of a residency at TD Berlin and brings revolutionary texts from the 1970s into dialog with diary entries, letters, dreams, poems and thoughts. A journey through more than five decades of feminism, philosophy, religion, family and Marxism - towards a highly topical process of self-awareness. Songs, music, conversations and breaks structure the collective reflection. The audience does not expect a finished narrative, it sits with the performers in the same thinking space, following in the footsteps of the radical thinker Carla Lonzis and all the women who wanted to counter the madness of patriarchal exercise of power.
