"I want to take off my body" is a duet by Marita Schwanke in collaboration with the creative writer Sebastiaan van der Lubbe from the Netherlands.
For this work Marita used the incident that two of them look alike but are of different sex to talk about gender politics. In the duett both Sebastiaan and Marita are executing different “male” and “female” gestures in different compositions and enter a conversation about societal expectations and individual reality of gender politics through poetry.
