Take a look into the studio of Marina Mascarell during the rehearsal process of Three Times Rebel. Marina has a unique talent for translating her social commitment into dance in an expressive and poetic way. For this new performance, she and her dancers delved into the extensive history of women’s emancipation and was confronted with frustrating structures of exclusion, (symbolic) violence and gender inequality. Prejudice, discrimination and stereotyping are still very much a part of life in 2017. To live music by Yamila Ríos, the five dancers undermine these issues with verve.

Program

Rosa Luxemburg, Virginia Woolf, Frida Kahlo, and Indira Gandhi: they all fought for equal rights and opportunities for women. At the beginning of the 21st century there is no reason to see the process of emancipation as completed. Equal opportunities are still out of reach for women in many countries and in some areas. Some attainments are even under threat because of the economic and social crisis. But could it be that in a world desperate for new paths, women could open new perspectives? This Super Lecture gives a new recent view of the history of women’s emancipation. Afterwards you will be seeing the newest performance by the Spanish Marina Mascarell who was inspired by women’s emancipatory history. To live music by Yamila Ríos, five powerful dancers undermine prejudice, stereotypes, and discrimination.
