Who is your inner voyeur?

Hunting Down Male Gaze

Who is your inner voyeur?

Hunting Down Male Gaze

Who looks at whom – and how?
What shapes our gaze? And who are we when no one is watching – not even the selfie camera? How can we take off the glasses of patriarchy?

In their performance, Jeanne-Marie Bertram and Laura Teiwes explore these questions and invite the audience to go hunting for their inner voyeur.

In feminist film theory, the “male gaze” describes a masculine, controlling, and sexualized way of looking at the world – and at women in particular. But the male gaze is also an everyday phenomenon. It is a dependency on the male perspective that we need to free ourselves from.

Orlando

Orlando is a dreamy boy, an ambitious poet, a bon vivant at the court of Elizabeth I, a royal envoy in Constantinople. And then: a traveller, a recluse, a popular host and lady of society, an independent woman, in love with life, an unhappy soul bent under the spirit of the Victorian age, a lover, a poet.

Spanning more than four centuries – and especially now, as Orlando steps before her audience – she is a seeker. What makes a human being? Name and origin? Appearance and gender? Society? The spirit of the age? The soul? The true self?

With Orlando – A Biography (1928), Virginia Woolf created a multifaceted novel marked by sharp observation and subtle humour, and one that has become one of the most important feminist works of world literature. Nearly 100 years later, the analyse schmitt kollektiv turns its attention to this figure. Orlando is confronted with the uncertainties of the 21st century and is still searching – for the self, for truth, for her own place in the world.

She takes the audience on a fast-paced tour de force through her history and, through her story, invites us to celebrate the complexity of being human.

Peter Pan

In this monologue, developed at the Junges Staatstheater Karlsruhe, we invite audiences aged 8 and up to fully trust their imagination and dive into adventurous dream worlds. Using a loop station, sounds and noises are recorded and played back throughout the performance – created live in the moment together with the audience. Audience participation is therefore explicitly encouraged!

What is reality, and what is a dream?
Or, as Peter Pan would say:

You just have to believe, Wendy!

The piece can be performed either on a stage or as a mobile production. This means it can be set up with very little effort in a wide variety of locations – including classrooms or school auditoriums.

We have also developed a version in English, rehearsed together with a language coach specializing in foreign languages. In addition, I have already performed the piece together with a sign language interpreter, who provided simultaneous translation into German Sign Language.
