Les Créatives is a Geneva-based feminist festival that celebrates the work of women and gender minorities through a multidisciplinary programme of music, performances, exhibitions, films, and discussions. Combining artistic creation with social engagement, the festival promotes diversity, inclusion, and gender equality in contemporary culture.
Performed and directed by Eve Aouizerate, this incisive solo creation blends autofiction and faux stand-up to turn fairy-tale promises into a sharp satire. Using humour and precise stagecraft, Aouizerate interrogates reactionary online imaginaries and the contemporary allure of tradwives, exposing tensions between domestic idealisation and feminist inheritance. The piece mixes intimate confession, comic timing and critical observation to probe identity, boredom and the pressures shaping women’s lives.
