Feminal is a confronting dance theater performance that explores how women’s bodies are objectified. Through gripping storytelling, gestural choreography, and striking visuals, the performance exposes the impact of stereotypes, history, and expectations on women.
Feminal features two solo works:
Initial Dissent - Becca Hoback
Initial Dissent delves into the aftermath of a woman’s tumultuous relationship with religion and shattered ideals of purity, unraveling a suspenseful narrative that delves deep into the psyche of someone on the brink of transformation into her own definition of a villain. Yet, the question lingers: was this metamorphosis a conscious choice, or a fate imposed upon her? Embark on this haunting exploration together and uncover the profound revelations awaiting those who dare to delve deeper.
A Girl - Roy Assaf
Overgeneralization is a human tendency, a tendency which lies at the core of A Girl.
One girl in red, on a narrow white floor, dancing a dance, exposing herself to stubborn cliches of femininity which appear at every turn. Although it might seem that this Girl is the one in the spotlight, there is no mistaking the risk for all those who sit in the dark and observe.
