The strength of the performance is that all the elements are constantly in service of ideas about the richness of new and different perspectives. The players draw on nine different texts, written by or inspired by interesting feminist thinkers, playwrights and poets. Meanwhile, they accompany the text with conventional and unconventional forms of percussion and singing: from drum solos to the dragging of drums across the floor, from an a capella duet to a long-drawn-out primal scream. The pleasure that the performers create in their collective creative urge is contagious, and invites the audience to detach themselves from the "old world" and embrace the unlimited possibilities of "new worlds".
