Pinja Nuñez – Maybe this is all connected
Womanhood is not an unequivocally definable, universal entity.
It is an amalgamation of private and shared, personal and cultural features that are shaped by the present and the past, here and elsewhere. So we can ask, what is a woman’s voice? What is the performer’s own voice?
The concert approaches womanhood from the perspective of the artist’s personal experiences and a wider historical context. It gives a voice to women who lived in different times and their pieces representing various genres. The woman is the one who acts and plays the main role – she is not just a victim trampled by patriarchal history.
