A woman races incredulously through medical history and is appalled by the centuries-long male gaze on her body. With much humor, Marie Bues' staging dissects persistent myths, exposing their absurdity - and does not shy away from the pain inherent in bodies and systems.

In the past, medicine was entirely oriented towards the male gender. The patient and her body seem to be, even today, an often unknown entity. Meanwhile, people of different genders fall ill with often markedly different symptoms and courses.

"Women still have to fight to break free from the equation of oppression. The three exceptionally versatile and adaptable actresses at the Theater Winkelwiese and director Marie Bues make this clear in a calm and colorful production." - SRF 2 Kultur

Marie Bues is co-director at the Schauspielhaus Vienna. In 2019, she already premiered Julia Haenni's successful piece FRAU VERSCHWINDET (VERSIONEN) at the Bühnen Bern and directed the latest text FRAU HEILT (PARTY) at the Theater Winkelwiese.

MARIE BUES often forgoes classical characters or narrative structures in her productions. Instead, they directly reflect societal conditions as well as current discourses. For her programmatic focus on contemporary drama and experimental forms of theater at the Theater Rampe, she and Martina Grohmann were awarded the Federal Theater Prize in 2019 and the Martin Linzer Theater Prize in 2021.

JULIA HAENNI works as a freelance author, performer, and director in Switzerland and Germany. She works with young people and adults, amateurs and professionals, for the free scene and at state theaters. In the 2018/19 season, she was a resident author at the Konzert Theater Bern, where she wrote FRAU VERSCHWINDET (VERSIONEN), which was awarded the Bern Literary Prize in 2020. For her "quirky, outstanding work," she is awarded the Welti Prize for Drama.
