LET'S SPIT ON HEGEL

In four conversations, this pioneer of philosophical feminism—who is currently being rediscovered not only in Italy—discussed art, love, equality, and power dynamics with her ex-partner. The topics include the role of women, the idealization of (male) genius, and the need for admiration. Lonzi’s radical response to it all was: “Go ahead!”

The evening brings revolutionary texts from the 1970s into dialogue with diary entries, letters, dreams, poems, and reflections.

A journey through more than five decades of feminism, philosophy, religion, family, and Marxism—leading to a highly topical process of self-discovery. Songs, music, conversations, and pauses structure this shared reflection. The audience isn’t presented with a finished narrative; instead, they sit alongside the performers in the same space of thought, following in the footsteps of the radical thinker Carla Lonzis and all the women who sought to resist the madness of patriarchal power.

Following sold-out performances in Berlin and guest performances in Hamburg, Mannheim, and Flensburg, the TD co-production is back on the TD’s schedule before its stop in Munich.
