She and my kind of and by Alberto Garcia Sanchez

Complete

By what right does he start talking about this other half of humanity to which he does not belong? This is the question that obsesses this comedian who is asked to design a show that deals with the condition of women. One night, he dreams that he exchanges his body with his wife’s. Unable to wake up, it is in this dream that he/ she must honor his commitment. It is then in his body that his wife goes on stage to tell us stories collected by Alberto García as he travels, at a time when women’s rights are once again crucial in our society.
This show offers a look at the reality of women. It is the look of a man, white in addition, heterosexual in principle, resident Belgian and moreover Catalan! But this look, my look, is like my identity, always at the mercy of empathy, because if I’m Alberto Garcia, I sometimes am Salvador Allende, I sometimes am a Palestinian, or black. The injustices that women suffer are rooted in the guts of all humanity, they are “our” injustices and we men and women cannot be indifferent to them. The struggle for women’s rights is intimately linked to the struggle for human rights.
