{women cook} {men eat} {lots of sexism in my schnitzel}

“Men” eat steaks. They drink dry beer. They belch. They do not use napkins. They are super-hungry. They have a very high energy consumption. “Women” on the other hand eat some mixed salad and muesli for breakfast. They only need a tiny piece of the cake. They do low-carb. They know what’s good for you. They are full already. They starve. “Women” cook, “men” eat. In other words, lots of sexism in my schnitzel.

Henrike Iglesias – (Fress-)Academy Projekttag

The members of queer-feminist theatre collective Henrike Iglesias call bullshit. They say: We are hungry, so we shall eat! In their cooking show, the performers serve the audience society’s obsession with everything food-related while they chow down everything that comes to stand in their way. How can it be that you have allegedly lost control over your life when this verdict refers to your physical appearance only?

Henrike Iglesias is a queer-feminist theatre collective based in Berlin and Basel. Their theatre of operations ranges from the popular to the political, crossing the personal. For Henrike Iglesias, phenomena of popular culture and the mass media mirror social situations and grievances, so they set out to shed a light on them from feminist perspectives. Their piece OH MY opened the 2019 imagetanz festival at brut.
