4 Women Getting Sick
When a doctor’s visit turns into an endless medical limbo, four figures end up in a space where the boundaries are blurred between operating table, body, and landscape. Echoes of past and future intertwine. The players seek a way out of a bizarre cycle of predation and exploitation.
4 Women Getting Sick presents a magical-realist universe that, through a visual and physical theatrical language, explores the link between body and land, both subjected to a long history of conquest, oppression, and exhaustion. Inspired by surrealism and sacred ecology, Renée sear- ches for the liberating aspect hidden in the primal connection between the female body and the earth.
4 Women Getting Sick is a performance where scenography is used as both a storytelling medi- um and a co-actor. It is an enchanting and unsettling theatrical experience that provokes reflec- tion, where absurdity, humor, and existential questions come together to invite us to rediscover the world and our role in it. An absurd ode to female territory.
