Women, Gender and Mask, 1 international project « This adventure begins in Paris in March 2006, when two men, Stefan Ridell, *The Research theater director at Teater Halland in Sweden and Etienne Champion, sculptor of mask and co-director of the Collectif Masque, France proposed me a project: The objective of «Trans Mission» is to question and position ourselves on the The mask and women - a workshop and a production. subject of women and gender, through creating plays related to the theme, The mask - I have worked for 20 years with Mario Gonzalez and Christophe laboratories, cultural activities, conferences, awareness campaigns. This topic Patty, both teachers at the National Conservatory of Paris. generates a particular interest in our societies. Women - I realize that I do not know much about this other half, my half, of women, humanity and in fact I’m not the only one. As soon as we open a dictionary or a During our research we will try to answer to several questions about women, history book, the absence of women is striking. To find more information about gender, mask and theater. gender and women we have to go and have a look «specialized» literature as if women were masks, some strange beings. The points will be: At Teater Halland, in Sweden in June 2006, I started a Laboratory with international actresses and masks. This experience gave answers to my questions, because 1. The feminine character: project the mask allows the actors to express themselves freely, to reveal and unfold. -How it’s represented in the past, through different authors and plays. It allowed me finally to specify myR esearch* -How it should change or adapted to our modern times (reversed casting, After this experience, I realized the importance of meeting other women, different ways of representing women’s body and face, parts related to gender: a other men, other cultures, other point of views, to exchange : Berlin - Mitte character is masculine or feminine or just represents humanity?) Theaterhause, Stockholm -Teater Lacrimosa, France - L’Avant Seine / Theatre of Colombes, Romania - IC-Urgent and USA -The Bricklayers Theatre. 2. The feminine acting: From all these encounters my artistic team was created : Marta Cicionesi, Sylvie -What she transmits on stage, her transmission in theater acting. Berthou, Christophe Patty, Marcela Obregon, Axel Petersen, Doriane Moretus, -The main feminine characters in our classics and modern plays. Matt Trucano, Kyle Cadotte, Barbra Berlovitz , Mats Johansson, Barbara and Marc Pueyo, Maria Ericson, Boel Larsson, Harald Leander. 3. Famous women and non famous woman : And from this team and the Research program*, several creations were born : -We will research on what they gave to history and humanity. The Threepenny Opera (work around gender in reversed casting : Mr Peachum becomes Mrs. Peachum) at the Regional Teater Halland. . The European 4) Acting with mask will guide us to resolve our questions since mask work is play Venus Machina (feminine mask and image research) created in the the fundament of drama work: the more you are hidden the more you must tell Avant Seine Theater in France. Twelfth Night (work on gender) and Mother the truth. Courage (Famous anonymous women) in Chicago and in Minneapolis with the Bricklayers Theatre of Chicago. Antigone (famous mythic women) at Skillinge Theatre in Sweden and at Avignon’s Festival. And now, our new creation The Venus Museum (women’s archetypes: the obsessive bodies) »
Mariana Araoz, trans–mission’s project designer
2 From our Research*, performances, workshops and laboratories we have created « It is essential to be active by passing laws, but as we can see : it is not enough «The Venus Museum project », an outdoors museum made of five sculptures to change the persistent inequalities between men and women in our society, inspired in what we call the obsessive bodies: because there is always a gap between legislation and the application.
The five feminine archetypes are: To support this process, it is also our representations, our imagination and our symbolic constructions that must be addressed. This is why the theater and art in 1) The Primitive women (only feeds her babies, but is devoured: the general, can help to create new myths, new imaginary spaces where it is possible Mother) to leave the hierarchical relationship between men and women, where it is possible to invent relationships among individuals with multiple identities, but the 2) The Greeks (half naked, half dressed, her Body is her expression and difference is systematically returned to a negative pole. weapon) Advancing in the project, it became increasingly clear that all forms of inequality, 3) The Witches (dressed as men she tries to express herself, but gets burned domination between humans, adopt the same patterns of operation, be it racism, by society) machismo, of class relations, homophobia ... The fundamental issue is the relationship with the other, that I perceive as different from me » 4) The Creative women (she allows herself to dream and create but sacrifices family) Marcela Obregon, playwright and author of «venus museum»
5) The Brain woman (she only thinks of thinking, forgets her body).
This are living Sculptures that we place at different times in history and in different spaces of the Museum.
A guide leads the audience and the Great Story is told by Androgyna (half woman, half man).
Each sculpture is endorsed and set in motion by a professional actress. It is surrounded by an ensemble, a group consisting of amateur actors (or students) and amateur musicians.

About the staging and writing Surprise is the dynamic element of the staging. the Venus Museum... During the visit, the sculptures appear in front of the eyes of the audience. The space seemed empty and now, as if by magic, an image, an unusual human This is a project that was born from the creations, the plays, meetings, picture: bearer of memories, stories and emotions.” workshops and laboratories about women, gender studies and our relation to this question. christophe patty co-director We first built a prototype of The Venus Museum in June 2010 with professional actors and amateurs in the city of Colombes. Then we worked on ”the obsessive body” with costume designer Sylvie Berthou in a Master Class with young Swedish and young French amateurs during the second European youth exchanges (Teater Halland, CSC Fossés-Jean and Europe- PEJA) we did in October 2010. In May 2011, the first living sculpture was unveiled to the audience at The International Festival of Public Benches, in Colombes. Then we progressed to the stage writing in Teater Halland in Sweden, during the Second European Exchange in October 2011. A second model of The Venus Museum was born in March 2012 with the creation of new living sculptures. The Venus Museum, is a research field born from our practical and direct work with people and communities, and the result of performing the plays we have created since 2006 in the frame of our Research *. The Venus Museum features five pictures scattered invested in space (a park, a mall, the lobby of a museum, an esplanade). Each picture highlights feminine archetypes, as living sculptures that we place at different times in history. A guide leads the audience through the journey and the great story is told by Androgyna.. Each sculpture is endorsed and set in motion by a professional actress. It is surrounded by an ensemble, a group consisting of amateur actors and amateur musicians or students.

Stage design and use of space
“Spectators must feel that the sculptures were always there, but that they discover them for the first time. Every space will be adapted to The Women’s Museum. A park, a patio, a marketplace, a lobby, a shopping center, a campus ... 5 Obsessive body Masks
« I discovered the world of « Bouffons « thanks to Kamel Basli, a master of this Ancestral and related to sacred and profane elements, the mask allows us to theatrical form. After months of research, reading, laboratory, we created a show reveal what is hidden in us. Revealing our fears, our fantasies and our joys, called « The Gnunn’s «. mask unmasks.

I continue to invent grotesque forms for other Actresses and actors will wear masks created and inspired by their obsessive theater groups. body. We will use different materials (metal, wood, plastic, fabric, leather). Each In The Venus Museum, the creation of the body gives the character’s it’s own archetype transmits its own history: the history of women. personality. The mask requires a particular script, where the action, emotion and gesture To achieve this, I take into account the historical period of each archetype, I predominate over words and this is why actresses and actors will express work on both the universality of visual language while giving a modern twist. themselves through movement and choreography. For each living statue, I look for a universal symbol that can I transcribe in these « Since there are women rather than « The Woman », there are masks that can imaginary bodies. be female but there is not the mask of The Woman. Moreover, the mask would So, I sculpt it so outrageous that I deform symbolic. » rather be trans-genre, it shows the universal traits of a character. »

To enter the public domain, women were often forced to travesty, to chastity or to abandon motherhood. In this sculpture no feminine attribute is visible, the body is walled, it is covered with a shell. The killing comes as soon as fall protection. Transgression is dangerous, the list of women being burned for witchcraft is endless. One of the last was Anna Göldin that was executed in Switzerland in 1782. 7 The guide Androgyna
