I am who I’m not

„I am who I am”, speaks God to Moses from the burning bush, as if to say: “I exist”. Women protagonists in I Am Who I’m Not seem to say the opposite: “I don’t exist”. A woman doesn’t exist, or at least she doesn’t have the same opportunity to achieve the full scope of her existence. By risking her own fate, a woman wonders about her chances to survive in today’s society. This production brings together three one-act plays with storylines, motifs, and plots featuring three female protagonists. Women are the instigators of events and our inspiration in directing and dramaturgy. Formally and in terms of the genre, these three one-act plays are separate yet connected through their protagonists. They, the women who are not, are free to stroll through the stories of their fellow sufferers. This play speaks of three generations of women, each with her own problems, her own story, and her own way of coping with life in a society which remains dominantly male. Fragments of those lives create the mosaic of this deeply moving, but also humorous show.
