Flesh and blood, symbols of life and death, of what is natural and sacred. But whose flesh and blood? For a very long time, a woman's body did not belong solely to her. Subjected to patriarchal control, moral and religious prohibitions and commands, treated as a commodity by the capitalist system, pushed into the realm of taboo, it was both an object of male desire and female shame. The female blood belonged to a different category than the blood oozing from the wound of a male hero. It is ‘unclean’ blood, which has even been deprived of its colour, replaced by blue in the ads. The experiences of half of humanity, both ordinary and those particularly difficult, are still too often considered unworthy of disclosure, silenced and hidden. The women in the play ‘Flesh and Blood’, directed by Iwona Kempa, will speak about what is inappropriate to talk about, what is, at best, whispered about. They will talk about the experiences of women's bodies and women's blood from a female perspective.
