Theater: Still looking for Rick

Blaue Frau is coming to Åland with Still looking for Rick.

Blaue Frau is turning 20 and despairing. Two decades of persistent work for justice and equality have not made the world a better place. Quite the opposite. Individualism and self-interest prevail. Internet trolls have moved into parliaments. Feminism is dead. Or are they dedicating themselves to skin care products.

What happened? Where did it go wrong? Can we start over?

The performance Still Looking for Rick uses the debate forum genderdebatt.com from 2006 as a starting point for an investigation of the feminist conversation then and now. The performance is a feminist true crime where the hunt for the guilty leads to unexpected sidetracks.

What has happened since 2006 and what responsibility do we bear?

How broad does our solidarity extend?

Can we still change society? Do we want to?

And who really is Rick?
