I
had been dreaming for a long time about a play with a large number of strong
women. Actresses that I have known for a long time, not only on stage, but
personally as well. I had been dreaming of an intimate project in which they
will not be forced to be the heroine from the bottom of society, or any kind of
warrior, for that matter. A play where women could essentially be anything but
men: ugly, stupid, corrupted, passive, compromising, false, hurt, mean,
judgmental, patriarchal, engaged, clever, brave, inferior, grotesque,
possessive. These stories are like that too. They creep up on women during moments of
intimacy, when no one is watching, as those moments are not worth mentioning.
The moment when she is warming up the soup or putting on socks. The moment when
she accepts compromise, calculates, agrees to stay in bad relationships, when
she is not pretty, when she is not presentable.
I keep thinking that the equality between men and women will happen the moment
we allow the same number of stupid women take up leader positions, as we allow
men to do so.

Претстава за индивидуалноста на жените, наспроти реалноста, која полека нѐ унуштива сите нас како индивидуи и како со калап од нас прави копии послушни конзументи.
