Baby Bumps
Actually, there is a lot of talk about having children - or not having children. But never in the way that hannsjana and the inclusive Thikwa ensemble are doing it here. Their evening about discrimination against certain bodies manages to be complex, political and entertaining at the same time. [...] Of course it has political backbone - so it talks a lot about the exploitation of female bodies and discrimination against disabled bodies. [...] Touché!
The "gut feeling" [literal translation of the German title "Bauchgefühl"] is a very personal matter. When the evening at Theater Thikwa is over, many questions are left open and that's a good thing.
Who wants to have a baby and should not? And who doesn't want to have babies, but should? In an entertaining birth preparation course, performers of Theater Thikwa and the feminist collective hannsjana negotiate the big political questions that are addressed to their bellies every day. For example, what goes in: beer, cake, or children – and what is allowed to come out. In a humorous stage show, the performers in "Bauchgefühl" take responsibility for themselves and others, develop new forms of reproduction, parenthood and care – or consciously decide against sharing their bodies and attention with anyone.
