The performance 'Alexander*a' reflects Kollontai's spirit and allows audiences to reflect on how we can resist existing norms and rethink traditional family institutions. Within this performance, we invite viewers to look at events from 100 years ago from today's perspective - diving into conversations about war, freedom, sex, and gender inequality, and drawing attention to women political prisoners.
We address what to do when familiar realities are in ruins, inviting you to reflect on this together. Directed by Vika Privalova, a coordinator and activist of the Feminist Anti-War Resistance, and supported by a team of intersectional feminists and multidisciplinary artists, the project aims to challenge societal norms and promote peace.
Why should we all watch 'Alexander*a' today? 'We must open wide the gates of comprehensive life for women, temper their hearts, and fortify their will. It is time to teach women to take love not as the foundation of life, but merely as a step, as a way to reveal their true 'self.' - Alexandra Kollontai, 'Love and the New Morality'.
This is a conversation about freedom, love, and justice, and how these concepts can intertwine and manifest in the fabric of society. The performance bridges the past and the future, urging the audience to engage in dialogue and reminding them of the great ideas, many of which remain sensitive to this day.
