Arriving in good time
During the festive season in December, traffic tends to get heavily congested in Ljubljana. Visitors are advised to leave home earlier than usual to avoid arriving late.
The origins of the City of Women festival date back to 1995. Initially a one-off event of the Office of Women's Policy, a year later the festival’s organisation was entrusted to the Association for the Promotion of Women in Culture – City of Women, and the festival ran continuously for the next 30 years. The festival would not have survived to this very day without sisterhood, solidarity, mutual support and awareness of the differences created by class, race and other contexts.
That is why this festival’s edition foregrounds the importance of sisterhood, a theme also addressed by dramaturg, playwright and director Varja Hrvatin. In the fantasy-performative show Sukeban, borrowing its title from the Japanese term for female delinquents and girl gangs formed as a direct result of and feminist response to male gangs' refusal to accept female members, Varja Hrvatin employs the format of an interactive game to problematize the representation of women in the online environment and portray a world of female superheroes fighting against sexism and discrimination.
Predstava je v slovenščini z angleškimi nadnapisi.
Ustvarjalna ekipa poziva gledalke k možnosti aktivnega in anonimnega sodelovanja v predstavi, za kar potrebujejo le mobilni telefon s povezavo na splet.
»Ustvarjalni proces je na vsebinski ravni zajemal ogromno iskanja in pregledovanja problematičnih spletnih vsebin, (pop)kulturnih referenc, viralnih videov ter različnih nišnih forumov in socialnih platform. Na uprizoritveni ravni pa smo predvsem raziskovale različne oblike iger, igranja, preigravanja vlog, (super)herojstva, boja, maščevanja, humorja, seciranja otroštva, odraščanja, prijateljstva, sestrstva in domišljijskega fantaziranja.«
