Faces

"The women's question has long been set aside. What are we still talking about?"

Pianist Christopher Donison divided the world into two districts - one for those with large hands and one for those with small hands. Some fit naturally into the system, while others must constantly adapt. Three actresses of different nationalities - Czech, Slovak, and Ukrainian - lend their faces to stories of women, bringing three different perspectives on the world. They share one thing: fear.

How many ordinary situations are limited by fear for one's own body? Why is a man defined as a "universal person" while everything female must always be specified? Why does Google Docs in the 21st century still underline words like "wrote", "queen" or "female authors" with a red squiggle? Why was a crash-test dummy designed according to a female body used for the first time only in 2023?

The original production "Faces" is based on real testimonies from people who have experienced discrimination, as well as statements from those who publicly promote extremist views. It is about women whose experiences fall outside the bounds of fair social functioning.
