Eve & Adam’s Enemies is a pre-recorded video performance mixing theater and graphic design, questioning the consequences of the original sin on Western medical practices. Filmed site-specific at The Tank, it transforms the theater’s backstage areas into behind-the-scenes of a surgical clinic.
It is the fifth installment in the “Eve & Adam” series, which has been seen at Summerhall - Edinburgh, Voila Festival - London and Rattlestick Playwrights Theater - New York.
Since almost always, the human body has been mutilated by the strongest.
Science, dogmas and religious beliefs have particularly condemned our sex.
The Eve & Adam series is an exploration on the silent tortures of identity, of sex, of individual freedom and the domination of human senses.
