Brina Jenček: Zygote

Ants swarm the body, the eggs are fertilized, the knot is tied.
The phase of youthful naivety is ending — but what comes next?
Teenage hormonal frenzy gives way to a hormonal longing for a baby.
Is love one, another, multiple, eternal?
There is tenderness, there is uncertainty, there is fear.
In dreams, monsters crawl, stare into your eyes, breathe down your neck — and still, you don’t want to wake up.

The performance Zygote is a game, a ritual, and a confession. The performer digs through her own guts, confronting the dilemmas of romantic love and the inherited roles we take on — willingly or not.
