INTRODUCTION

Imagine, you wake up as a woman ánd a man, with breasts ánd a penis. You're not sure what you were before you went to sleep. Double minded or hermaphroditic? The character suspects to be the victim of some obscure scientific experiment. But perhaps the sudden metamorphosis had been slumbering in his/her genes all that time. Elisabeth Bas offers you the opportunity to reflect on your personal hormone level.

"You're not even born and the first question asked is: 'Is it a boy or a girl?' That goes on your whole life long. Applications, forms; M slash F, delete what is not applicable. I'm going to delete that slash. I'm gonna be plural all by myself."

 

La Garçonne is a theatre production by Elisabeth Bas (Dutch spoken)
