Theatre maker Carolina Bianchi (Brazil, 1984) disconcertingly shows how power systems facilitate and normalise sexual violence. Together with the collective Cara de Cavalo, Bianchi explores the origins of brotherhood and the often violent 'brotherhood codes' between men that come with it.
What does 'masculinity' mean? What’s the appeal of 'the brotherhood'? And who is part of this pact? Don’t expect answers, but rather a head-on confrontation with patriarchal structures and our role in maintaining them. Bianchi links representation to real trauma and power structures within art with radical poetry, and explores how misogyny and a sexuality crisis play off each other. The piece unfolds like a trap: as Bianchi uncovers the brotherhood, she herself becomes a character who suffers the consequences of her view on this system.
The Brotherhood triggers strong emotions, presses where it hurts, and has us reflect on the role violence plays in our society and the ways we help perpetuate it, whether we're aware of it or not.
The performance contains nudity, explicit sexual content, alcohol abuse, references to suicide and sexual violence.
'With The Brotherhood, Bianchi exposes power structures that shape the course of events everywhere — including in the theatre world she herself inhabits.'
NRC ★★★★
'The first play knocked her unconscious. The second is even tougher.'
The New York Times
'With her drift, Carolina Bianchi sets the theatre on fire: [she] furiously re-enacts her own trauma.'
De Standaard ★★★★
