IHRAF Festival
Celebrating the life and ideas of Hannah Arendt (1906-1975)
with Contremune Dance
Hysterical Women is a physically charged piece that interrogates the invisible architectures shaping women’s lives: labor, care, containment, and control. Through constraint-based choreography, spoken text, and shifting relational dynamics, three performers navigate systems that tether, direct, and fragment the body over time. At once intimate and political, the work traces how pressure accumulates, how agency is negotiated, and how the body resists, adapts, and remembers.
