Theater – Nineties
Feminine Frequencies
Lees deze pagina in het Nederlands
Something is wrong with the way we talk; there is a lack of softness and openness. Or perhaps it is not about the words, but about who takes them, who holds on to them, and who fills the space. In Feminine Frequencies, theatre-maker Yannick Noomen confronts his own tendency to take up space.
About Feminine Frequencies
In co-production with Jam Factory Art Center in Ukraine, Nineties builds a radio studio on stage. As the show’s host, Yannick tunes into a different frequency and makes space for another sound. In a country where men are at the front and women carry the weight of everyday life, he seeks out voices that are given little airtime: feminine thinkers, activists, artists, queer soldiers and women keeping the country going. Together with his musical sidekick, Berlin-based composer and producer Philipp Johann Thimm (Apparat), he explores the airwaves.
What feminine forces emerge as patriarchal structures begin to falter? Why is femininity still seen as vulnerable, when it is precisely there that new possibilities may lie? And how does intersectional femininity endure in these times of large-scale international crisis? Feminine Frequencies is a sensory theatrical experience about listening as an act of resistance, and about a man with a microphone in his hand trying to be less of a transmitter and more of a receiver.
Jam Factory Art Center is a leading interdisciplinary arts centre in Lviv, Ukraine. By bringing unheard perspectives to the fore, it builds bridges between art and society.

About Nineties
For more than fifteen years, Nineties has presented performances in radically fluid forms: work that pushes boundaries, shifts expectations and questions assumptions. Nineties is an eclectic Dutch theatre company with an unrelenting drive to experiment and a fearless curiosity about new art forms that make space for a multitude of worldviews. Nineties represents the voice of a generation that grew up in a world where many different truths coexist. Curious, engaged and with a healthy dose of self-irony, the company proposes different ways of seeing.
