“If we were to talk about men as a group, have you noticed any suspicious behavior? Any signs of hostility? Do you have a feeling that they might be organized?”
FATALE is a poetry evening where we read and discuss the work of Swedish Finnish female poets, both of the present and the past. Or, it might be a conspiracy, a pact, a desperate investigation and an arbitrary installment of some kind of justice. Either way, FATALE is a participatory performance about feminist awakenings and what happens next.
