![]() WOMAN KNOW YOUR BODY - freely adapted from the popular publication `WOMAN KNOW YOUR BODY` Since the opening night at the Norwegian regional theater Rogaland WOMAN KNOW YOUR BODY has played more than 200 performances in Norway and Denmark. The play has a unique literary source: it is based on an iconic Danish handbook about female life and the female body, written by feminists at the height of the women´s lib movement. When the book was first published in 1975 WOMAN KNOW YOUR BODY caused a stir that bordered on outcry. Since then it has become less politically explosive and the book is now widely acclaimed in Denmark and the rest of Scandinavia. The play was awarded as Best Performance of the year 2011 in Denmark. WOMAN KNOW YOUR BODY unfolds as an elegant collage of extracts from books and guides inter-woven with thoughts, feelings and experiences from the real lives of women. Two actors plays all the roles. Most characters are women but there are also men. The play demonstrate the variety of issues in female lives. During the show we encounter women in many familiar situations, some funny, some deadly serious.
