THE SCREAM Theater Utrecht / Floor Houwink ten Cate
Why is our pain still not taken seriously? Why does our pleasure count for less? And why does the male, white body remain the norm in healthcare?
For centuries, the experiences of women and genderqueer people have been mystified in art, stories and medical science. THE SCREAM questions what happens when we break through that gaze and reclaim our own experiences.
In this multidisciplinary performance, Nastaran Razawi Khorasani, Melyn Chow, Francesca Lazzeri, Princess Isatu Hassan Bangura and Milou van Duijnhoven present a story that is both historical and painfully relevant today, about bodies, power and expression. Across generations and stages of life, they expose how pain and pleasure are suppressed and what happens when the stifled scream trapped in the body finally comes out.
After Battlefield of Dreams about the (absence of a) desire to have children, director Floor Houwink ten Cate once again opens up an urgent and intimate medical-ethical issue. With a text by Floor and Lotte Houwink ten Cate and Esther Duysker, (live) cinema, a groundbreaking choral piece by Annelinde Bruijs, and a performance installation by Studio Dennis Vanderbroeck, THE SCREAM becomes an explosive theatrical experience and a powerful plea for self-determination with regard to pain and pleasure.
