SEX EDUCATION II: FIGHT

In the organizer's words:

🎭🌍 An event by euro-scene Leipzig.

SEX EDUCATION II: FIGHT - Maska Institute / Tjaša Črnigoj (Ljubljana)

FIGHT tells the story of the historical struggle for reproductive self-determination in Yugoslavia. While abortions were punishable and often life-threatening until after the Second World War, sexualized violence in marriage went unpunished. The artistic team led by Slovenian director Tjaša Črnigoj combines political documents and biographies to create a dense portrait of the women's movement, in which the private and the political intertwine. The focus is on the partisan Vida Tomšič, who fought for family planning and human-centered sex education with her partner, the gynecologist Franc Novak-Luka.

SEX EDUCATION II: FIGHT concludes a series of lecture-performances on sexual freedom as a human right. Based on conversations with women and experts, an intimate and analytical space is created on stage in which social taboos are openly questioned - and which at the same time recalls the achievements of previous generations for physical autonomy and sexual rights.
