A seemingly loving relationship that slowly tilts: In Yes-Girl, Gavin-Viano combines music, dance and performance into a raw, poetic theater experience about love, misogyny and femicide in the Netherlands.
About Yes-Girl
How can a youthful romance spiral so far out of control? Yes-Girl shows how widespread misogyny seeps into an individual relationship between a young woman (Morena Stuger), who wants to spread her wings, and a man (Gavin-Viano) whose growing insecurity manifests itself in possessive behavior.
Yes-Girl is a fairy tale, a nightmare and an indictment all at once. About the search for love and self-development, about intuition that is ignored and unequal gender dynamics. About disconnecting from your surroundings and the importance of self-worth. And about what happens when it is slowly eroded.

About Gavin-Viano
In the summer of 2020, Gavin-Viano graduated as a director from the Toneelacademie Maastricht. For his graduation performance Ach Mijn Wederhelft, he received the DNA Next Encouragement Award in 2020.
Through his work, he aims to engage communities that are not typically given a voice, in order to make Dutch theatre more accessible. He does this by telling non-Western stories, often choosing an anti-white-male-gaze perspective, and deliberately exploring the intersectionality of his characters. In doing so, he creates a world where language, movement, and music merge into one, with humor serving as the glue between the building blocks.
