Making Herstory

"MAKING HERSTORY" is a piece developed by Tanja Regele, Viktoria Semperboni, and their team, presented as a narrative collage that explores the emergence and impact of female role models. The protagonist questions societal myths and attributions: Where do expectations of women come from, and what happens when they are not met? An unexpected event forces her to reconsider the consequences of these myths in her own life.

Inspired by Ursula K. Le Guin’s "The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction," the piece avoids classic heroes or victories. Instead, it weaves together biological facts, animal behavior research, and poetic imagery—such as the question of what a uterus would say if it stood before us in person. With Victoria Morawetz in the lead role, Tanja Regele as director, and Viktoria Semperboni responsible for stage and costume design, the story blends scientific analysis with personal reflection.
