The Scream - Theater Utrecht

Theater en toneel

No Dutch Required

Why is our pain still not taken seriously? Why does our pleasure count less? And why does the male, white body remain the norm in healthcare? For centuries, women's and genderqueer experiences have been mystified in art, stories and medical science. The Screamquestions what happens when we break through that gaze and reclaim our own experiences.

Across generations and phases of life, they expose how pain and pleasure are suppressed and what happens when the suppressed scream that is stuck in the body finally comes out.

With a text by Floor and Lotte Houwink ten Cate and Esther Duysker, (live) cinema, a groundbreaking choral piece by Annelinde Bruijs, and a performance installation by Studio Dennis Vanderbroeck, The Scream becomes an explosive theater experience and a powerful plea for self-determination with regard to pain and pleasure.
