The inspiration came from a conflict between my mother and me. We had been arguing for many years about what a woman should look like. For me, this work is a response to that argument, to my mother, and to this question. During the performance, the border between private and public, real and fantasy is blurred. And I build a contradictory and various world by jumping in between those parts.

There are five parts in the performance: the first part happens in “Linxi’s garden”, Linxi has a monologue from the two perspectives of “Sweet girls” and “feminism”. The second and fourth parts are the “Perfect Housewife”, a group of three women who first repeatedly do housework and then destroy everything in the fourth part. For the third part, Linxi collected a questionnaire on the Chinese Internet in advance: “As a woman, what do you want to say to women?” and she read most of the answers in both Chinese and English. In the fifth part, Andrea Hammes, a local musician from Dals Långed (Sweden), led audiences from inside to outside, singing a Swedish lullaby by the lake.
