FOR REAL is a podcast on human dignity, made by Resonate Productions.
In this episode: cancelling - the balancing act - being forgotten in illness in illness - feeling powerless.
Recorded on 11 May 2025 at Theaterfestival Auawirleben at the Dampfzentrale in Bern, Switzerland.
(02:18) Yaniv [°1977 - Israel]: “You have an argument with someone and instead of relating with what they say, you explain why they would say something like that.”
(08:22) Anna [°1997 - Zofingen, CH]: “Especially as a woman, you try to do this balancing act and then you realize: “Oh no, I’ve again thought of other people’s opinion before I thought about what I want”.
(13:04) Antonia [°2003 - Switzerland]: “It’s a mindset I’m taking on when I feel like I’m not being heard correctly.”
(19:00) Vinny [°1995 - Zoug, CH]: “Since I’ve been chronically ill, I’ve been in bed so much. And I feel like chronically ill people get forgotten a lot, or they’re not invited into spaces, because they’re too complicated.”
(23:19) Titien [°1993 - Winterthur, CH]: “What makes me feel powerless is the state of the world right now, and that we are inheriting a patriarchy that we never wanted but that has been laid on all of us.”
For each episode of FOR REAL, we get together with a group of people in a theater, to look into what it means to matter as a person. All interviews are carried by improvised music, made by George Dumitriu (viola, guitar), Sarah Jeffery (recorders) and Andrea Voets (harp).
