In the collective vision of the creative team, Housewives’ Apocalypse is a liberating live concert, concentrating stories of multiple forms of systemic violence against women, inspired by the personal stories of the actresses. A performative manifesto with an explicitly radical message, Housewives’ Apocalypse has the choral quality of a statement of combat, combining acute emotional states and an assumed revolt against the perpetuation of abuse, having kept generations of women in gruesome silence, walled inside coercive myths. (the NTF curators’ motivation)
