Hey SORORA! WE are risking everything!

Three installations and one performance

Three installations

It begins and ends with the musical installation „Sirens Karaoke “ at the entrance to the theater. At this place, where the boundary between „outside “ and „inside “ is undefined, we do not stop making gender-based violence visible. Furthermore, the audio installation „~~Your~~ wife “ / „My dear husband “ is presented in a quiet place, in which a personal letter is read out that questions the familiar surroundings of a woman * as a safe place. In another room, the audience will find security in the installation „Walk into the vulva “. There the audience is invited to experience empowerment through a sensual experience.

A Performance

In the „Feminist Workshop “, the performers deal with the feelings of fear, shame and anger. These emotions occur particularly in gender-specific violent situations and are a large part of a womans* everyday life. The performance deals with feminicide and combines personal stories, role models and examples of self-empowerment. In the end, pleasure wins, a feeling that drives a collective experience of SORORITY¹ and is expressed in a feminist reggaeton. In this way, the audience is invited to participate in the workshop and to actively demonstrate against feminicide and violence against women* and other FLINTA people.

¹ SORORITY: solidarity, sisterhood.

WE often are in situations where danger and vulnerability are present. WE forget, deny or even accept these situations as normal. WE know a woman* or are a woman* who is a victim of misogynistic violence and could perhaps even be murdered. WE as mothers, fathers, partners, daughters, sons, friends, employers, sisters, brothers, employees, … see it coming to us and WE decide to not ignore it and talk about it. Stories, situations and emotions flow together and the WE of SORORITY becomes a common voice, a common body.

La Fuchsia Kollektiva and the topic of feminicide

Since 2021, artists from La Fuchsia Kollektiva have been working to make feminicides and violence against women* visible. In 2021, they began with a series of Instagram posts about signs of normalized violence against women* and struggles against violence against women*, among other things. In 2022, they explored the topic theoretically and performatively in the project Alles aufs Spiel. This research process resulted in the interactive brochure Achtung FEMINIZID! WIR setzen ALLES AUFS SPIEL!. This was followed in 2023 by the performative and multimedia night-time city walk in Stuttgart East Feminicidio! Lass uns darüber sprechen!
