Looking for the first feminists, the story begins in an unknown, dystopian city. The last feminist who hasn’t lost her ideological convictions tries to find her vanished fellows. In a time when the idea of the world and the planet ending is real and the new strength of anti-feminism lends modern patriarchy new glamour, a bunch of hard-core princesses, queer crypto-feminists, emotional bitches and post-dramatic witches ride from wave to wave and read feminism against the fucking grain, shouting out to those voices within the feminist struggle that are otherwise absent. The Last Feminist creates a battle-rap score allowing for a poetic bond among many. Examining themes like radical kinship and a loss of unity allows glimpses into the life of staunch feminists. Who were the first? Who owns feminism today? In an episode structure and four chapters, the performers and musicians look for the revolutionary potential of resistance in the failure of their own movement. They redefine and renegotiate feminism from the perspective of queer-feminist underdogs, realising that those who are missing will give us the clues to where patriarchy takes hold and rules, so we will finally understand feminist history.
