Theater en toneel

'Flowers' girl' Eliza Doolittle is one of the best known characters in theater history, originally from the play pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw, and later in musical my fair lady . But we know how her voice really sounds?

Finally, Eliza Doolittle gets his own voice, after having been extra for decades in a theater world ruled by strict gender standards. This time it is not the male gaze that assesses her, but her own inner critic - and the women around her.

Make space, patriarchy. My Fair Human takes the stage. No sweet words or modest smiles here - this is the raw story of women who no longer follow the rules. Three voices - Elisa, Lisa and Elizabeth - struggle with a world that reduces them to beautiful faces and fertile
bodies. But when their cycle stops, their story really starts.

Elizabeth sets the transition on fire. Lisa protests and tries to save the world. Elisa refuses to sell her body to other people's ideal. They fight, laugh and confront each other in a world that women want to break. This is rebellion in bloom.

From virgin to mother, from wild woman to wise woman - they demand the space that belongs to them. Time to not only watch, but to live with it

Control by Marloes IJpelaar: “Eliza Doolittle shows us in this imagination that rigid gender frames not only offer safety and structure, but also cause misery: inequality, oppression and a curtailed individual expression. As a person, are we really happy within the existing gender roles? "
