Fragile! Handle with care
Performance"Gender is an implicit internal formulation of the intention to become a man or a woman, not a prefabricated identity or an established substance"
Judith Batler
In the performance Fragile! Handle with care, fragility is the central core of the action. One of the basic characteristics that has been attributed to the female nature over the centuries is fragility. "Fragile" was identified with woman/femininity. It is a "traditional" aspect of the constructed female identity. The performance Fragile! Handle with care explores constructed versions of gender in order to challenge us to reflect on it.
