Blaue Frau: Still Looking for Rick
Mar 20 – Apr 16, 2025
Tukholmankatu 10, 00290 Helsinki
Blaue Frau opens its 20th anniversary with the performance Still Looking for Rick
Blaue Frau turns 20 and despairs. Two decades of persistent work for justice and equality have not made the world a better place.
Quite the contrary. Individualism and self-interest prevail. Internet trolls have moved into parliaments. Feminism is dead, or devoted to skincare products. So what happened? Where did it go wrong? Can people start again?
In the performance Still Looking for Rick, the debate forum www.genusdebatt.com from 2006 is used as a starting point for an investigation of the feminist conversation then and now.
What has happened since then and what responsibility do people bear? How broad is solidarity? Could anything have been done differently? Would people have had a different world if they had managed to win over their opponents?
Can people still change things? Do they want to? (Can they? Dare they?)
And… who is Rick?
