PATRIARCAT Vivre en confinement éternel

Winter Family (France / Israel)

Minimum age 15+
70 minutes

The patriarchate stripped

How to investigate the idea of patriarchate ?

Hard question that Winter Family takes in its stride.

A couple both on and off stage, the Israeli Ruth Rosenthal and the French Xavier Klaine create experimental music and documentary plays. Like for their previous performance, H2 -Hebron, which focused on the Israeli occupation in Palestine, the duo collects a lot of testimonies before rendering them in a raw way on stage.

This time, their field of research is their own family : a father, a mother and their adolescent daughter of 14. For two years, Ruth discreetly noted the words pronounced by Xavier which, in her eyes, corresponded with patriarchal reflexes, in order to highlight the banal mechanisms of masculine dominance in our daily life. In this way the play plunges us in a crude way into their apartment-studio before Ruth -woman/witch- proposes a non-binary and poetic departure from the patriarchat. Their daughter Saralei will fight old structures with the weapons of her generation.
