Making Herstory

MAKING HERSTORY is a piece developed by Tanja Regele, Viktoria Semperboni, and their team, which questions societal myths and attributions of female role models. The protagonist analyzes biological facts and learned behavioral patterns: Are gender roles innate or learned? An unexpected event lends these questions a sense of urgency.

Inspired by Ursula K. Le Guin’s "The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction," the piece becomes a narrative collage without a classic hero. Instead, it shares thoughts, questions, and perspectives—such as on 50/50 parenting in the animal kingdom or the fictional voice of a uterus. Starring Victoria Morawetz, directed by Tanja Regele, with stage and costume design by Viktoria Semperboni.
