”I hate men, because they hate me. As an extension of Emma Pilipon’s work ‘Carmen’ I speak to the men, the boys, the guys, and the old bastards with their own words. In a repetitive vengeance I’m not listening, not asking for mercy and I do not explain. I don’t even scoff. For 10 minutes I judge every man in the room by his cover, I hate and prepare myself to face possible confrontation. And in a repetition of movements, words, contempt and slander, I demand to be heard.”
In the performance Hate, I have changed places of the recipient and the sender to hateful and female-hostile comments expressed by men. The victims of the hatred becomes the men in the audience and the sender myself. In the role change, a clarification of the hate towards women takes place, where the absurdity of the quotation is reinforced and sometimes appears disgusting, sometimes comical. In an act of revenge, the words are not only sharper, but together they form a social depiction of the world’s most equal country.
