A political essay that can be danced!

In Geneva, women such as Michée Chauderon and Jeanne Brolliet were executed for practising folk knowledge or living independently.

In Switzerland, witch hunts were part of a broader strategy of social and moral control linked to the emergence of capitalism.
Secular authorities, such as those in Fribourg, played a central role in this process.
This violence targeted women’s bodies, their knowledge, their connection to nature and their autonomy.
It served to discipline those who escaped the patriarchal and commercial order.

From servitude to the stake, from the body to capital: reading Silvia Federici’s Caliban and the Witch is to revisit the history of systemic violence against women, while reviving the memory of popular resistance.
This project is at once a space for political analysis, collective reflection and physical reconnection.

An embodied reading. A political essay that can be danced!

Each session ends with an artistic improvisation inspired by the discussions.
This moment allows us to liberate our bodies and honour those who have been repressed for their knowledge, strength and freedom.
The last session will be a collective dance of homage to the ‘witches’ of yesterday and today.

Passion for cinema?

Let´s analyze films wearing our purple glasses, questioning messages conveyed through dialogues, imagery, and story telling.

Due to time constraints, we do not watch the film together during the session — it is recommended to watch it individually beforehand.

In our 90-minute sessions, we focus on discussing, critiquing, and debating in a safe space free from discrimination, where every opinion is heard, but where we are all committed to sharpening our feminist lens!

I’ve always had a love for words — they are what allow human beings to communicate, and above all, to respect one another.

I speak French, English, and Spanish. I’ve travelled as much as I could so far, and I’ve lived in several countries.

That’s how I came to understand that to truly speak a language, you also need to know the culture and the specific needs tied to each situation.
