About the performance
the mermaid is a post-drama performance that questions how to establish a stable intimate relationship in today's consumerist and precarious society, take time and patience for others, and raises the question of whom or what we would give our voice to today. Four protagonists, women in their late twenties, face societal expectations regarding their intimate and career lives, as well as often challenging each other as "best friends" on what they expect from friends and partners. From a summer love to a nine-year relationship, The Mermaid explores how rising individualism and competition in the market—both career and intimate—affect our personal lives. If Andersen's Little Mermaid gave her body and voice for a man she fell in love with at first sight, our Mermaid explores the position of the female voice and body today, in the era of neoliberalism, guided by freedom.
