THE SCREAM
Why does the male, white body remain the norm in healthcare? For centuries, experiences of women and genderqueers have been mystified in art, narratives and medical science. 'THE SCREAM' asks an urgent question: what happens when we break that gaze?

Director Floor Houwink ten Cate breaks open another urgent medical-ethical issue after 'Battlefield of Dreams' about (the absence of) the desire for children. With a text by Floor and Lotte Houwink ten Cate and Esther Duysker, (live) cinema, a groundbreaking choral piece by Annelinde Bruijs, and a performance installation by Studio Dennis Vanderbroeck, 'THE SCREAM' becomes a powerful plea for self-determination.
