1h 30' ‘Saison Sèche’ by Phia Ménard. The 2018 Avignon sensation. Now at deSingel.
The French director Phia Ménard was the leading sensation at the 2018 Avignon Festival with ‘Saison Sèche’. In her impressive scenography, forces of nature such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions mercilessly let rip. Seven female performers celebrate a powerful ritual in an enclosed space, not only to exorcise menace and destruction, but above all to free themselves form the patriarchy. Scenes of oppression, humiliation and sexual violence turn into an act of rebellion. They culminate in a clownlike parody of a vast range of expressions and gestures of male power display. ‘Saison Sèche’ not only targets the patriarchy. The performance is mindful of the freedom of all individuals, regardless of which body they are born into.
