17.03.26 — 19.03.26Cruel as only women can be, that's how they are. They look you in the eye and stab you in the chest with a smile.
The performance takes its cue from Lysistrata, the Greek comedy in which women withhold sex to force an end to war. It foregrounds the intimate entanglement of private desire and public power.
Drawing on this starting point, third-year students from KASK collaborate with actors from Het Scheldeoffensief, guided by Ika Schwander and Sophia Bauer. Together, they ask what resonance such a gesture might have today. Bringing their different bodies, biographies and perspectives into the space, they shape a bold, hybrid piece of theatre. Sharing the stage as a collective, they probe the shifting dynamics between intimacy, power and resistance in the present day.
