HALT

A Feminist Performance About Intersectional Solidarity
Thu Hoài Tran & Elisabeth Maria Kuzel
indoor

“What I want to do most of all is to scream, cry, let the untamed rage in me run free, but I can’t.” Right-wing terrorism in Germany has led an ensemble of young women of color to collectively develop this piece. They investigate how solidarity can work. What does resistance mean? What significance do privileges have within communities? Insights into the desires of the ensemble are provided excitingly and with many voices.
