The starting point is the intellectual undermining of women: the sexism on the mind and the soul and lack of interest in what they think, say, make or try to achieve in life. As an audience-member, you are a guest in our radio-studio. Over the speakers, you hear the voices of fourteen women. They analyse the intellectual undermining, starting from their personal and professional experiences with sexism on the mind and soul. How does this influence your sense of self, your trust, the building of relationships, and eventually: the course of life?

The audience completes the investigation, when the musicians start interviewing them on the topics at hand. These interactions are carried by a new technique of improvising, in which the musicians support risky and honest conversations as they unfold.

Each performance of FOR REAL will be recorded* and released as a podcast-episode. By doing this, we create a sounding collection of your voices on what it means to matter: to have dignity, to feel understood and to be taken seriously.

  • Duur: 120 min.

In de pers

"De theatervoorstelling FOR REAL gaat over de intellectuele ondermijning die vrouwen vaak ervaren: ze worden niet serieus genomen, niet geloofd of genegeerd. Zelfs tijdens het repetitieproces wordt duidelijk hoe pijnlijk dit kan zijn." de Volkskrant 

"Andrea Voets maakte een theatrale radioshow over intellectuele ondermijning: ‘Ik ben een vrouw, maar dat kan me niets schelen" Interview in Het Parool
