The Omen Alexandra Broeder / Tijd van de wolf

The female perspective is the starting point, since anorexia has mainly occurred in girls throughout the centuries. Moreover, within the patriarchal system of treatment, no space is given to the female voice. Nowadays, the number of girls developing anorexia is increasing and they are getting younger.

What if we see these girls as whistleblowers? What do they reveal? What wants to be heard?

The performers are young women who have (had) anorexia. Part of the performance is a conversation between Alexandra, the performers and an expert about the questions raised by The Omen.

Tijd van de Wolf creates performances that rattle the rational, at the intersection of art, psychiatry and spirituality. We shine light on often dark (unsaid) subjects and seek entrances to more humanity. We play with the unimaginable and the mystical. What is real, what is not real, healthy or unhealthy, and who actually decides? We are open to multiple realities and dimensions. It's not bad is if you don't know. We don't know either. And from this not knowing, we make our work.
