Lipa w cukrze

Performance inspired by a collection of female sexual fantasies.

For several months, we collected the voices of those who identify with femininity; we asked not only about specific dreams related to sex, but also about the importance of physical intimacy in people's lives. These subjective stories about sex have the power to liberate us from stereotypes. By exploring what is hidden on a daily basis, we want to create a space of freedom of expression and possible community between all women, regardless of age, experience, status or education. Reproducing the gesture made by Nancy Friday in 1973 when she wrote My Secret Garden, we want to create a contemporary map of erotic desires and dreams and find an appropriate theatrical language for them, write the creators of the performance, the Teraz Poliż group.

The study and the performance were created in collaboration with sexologists as part of the project "Mother loves herself".
