Movement / Dance / Dramatic Enactment / Video / Sound - poignant and engaging - This is another powerful production, written and directed by Existence Theatre. While addressing gender identity and cultural diversity, this work highlights the relevance of socially engaging rituals that keep people connected. Performers engage the audience in a unique way by telling and enacting fabulous stories from the heart. Myth and archetypal explorations are used to activate imagination in each of us. A piece about social hierarchies and cultural oppression, the functioning and abuse of political/social/cultural status but also the power of the individual to achieve change in self and others.

THE STORYLINE: The King has died! And the ruling system of the kingdom begins to crumble. Progressive forces seem to exist on the fringes of this country's society. Gender and cultural diversity conflicts start to arise violently from the bottom of a collective soul that has been manipulated and dominated by masculine stereotypes over past centuries. The qualities of femininity, personified through Queen Troja, emerge in all their glory. However, Troja’s ongoing internal conflict with human existence makes her an easy target to mislead her trust. She is hated and avoided by certain people at her side, who envy her position and strength. Troja survives her sacrifice to the gods, dies, gets reborn and dies again. She rises from her grave as a spiritual guide for those struggling with heteronormatively defined femininity and is feared by those who have remained loyal supporters of patriarchy. In the end Troja lives on as an iconic figure that cannot be weakened anymore.
