When a doctor’s visit turns into an end­less medi­cal lim­bo, four figu­res end up in a spa­ce whe­re the boun­da­ries are blur­red bet­ween ope­ra­ting table, body, and lands­ca­pe. Echoes of past and futu­re intertwi­ne. The play­ers seek a way out of a bizar­re cycle of pre­da­ti­on and exploitation.

4 Women Getting Sick pre­sents a magi­cal-rea­list uni­ver­se that, through a visu­al and phy­si­cal the­a­tri­cal lan­gu­a­ge, explo­res the link bet­ween body and land, both sub­jec­ted to a long his­to­ry of con­quest, oppres­si­on, and exhaus­ti­on. Inspired by sur­re­a­lism and sacred eco­lo­gy, Renée sear­ches for the libe­ra­ting aspect hid­den in the pri­mal con­nec­ti­on bet­ween the fema­le body and the earth.

4 Women Getting Sick is a per­for­man­ce whe­re sce­no­grap­hy is used as both a sto­ry­tel­ling medi­um and a co-actor. It is an enchan­ting and unsett­ling the­a­tri­cal expe­rien­ce that pro­vo­kes reflec­ti­on, whe­re absur­di­ty, humor, and exis­ten­ti­al ques­ti­ons come together to invi­te us to redis­co­ver the world and our role in it. An absurd ode to fema­le territory.
