Capital women
Public spaces are often considered and experienced by many women as masculine spaces. Capital WOMEN is a set of poetic performances in public spaces, that will stage a sisterhood, a female empowerment. Not as a fierce protest, but as a generous sharing with a special feminine sensibility.
How can a group of individual women together, as a group, question the role of women in public space and in our society, by bringing feminine sensibility to the foreground?
A group of Danish women of all ages in different countries have created and will perform Capital WOMEN together with French director and writer Léa Dant,. The performances will be created in several countries, all carrying the same core messages, but they vary according to the actual groups of local women recreating them and to the uniqueness of each woman composing it.
Experience an intimate, temporary sharing that reflects something universal in women. It will appear and then disappear from public view, like breathing in and then breathing out, shifting reality in a shared public space for a moment in time. Shifting it to a feminine power.
Age: From 0 years.
Duration: 20 min.

About the company
Léa Dant created Théâtre du Voyage Intérieur in 1999. Through her plays, which she conceptualizes, writes and directs, she seeks an intimate relationship with the spectator, beyond that of the performance, by creating conditions where intimate moments are shared and lived through by both audience and “characters”.
Through this, she aims to create the perfect conditions to offer each spectator the possibility of an “interior journey”, allowing them to go back into their own self, feeling or rediscovering their singular way of looking at the world, thereby coming back to their own true identity.
Through workshops linked to the plays created by Léa Dant, the participants are placed at the heart of the expression of their own identity in a new experience of the self, allowing them to share their singularity with others.
