In this second chapter, Carolina Bianchi and the Cara de Cavalo collective immerse themselves in the complexity of all-male pacts in the world of theatre, in addition to their possible origins and codes—all too often part of a framework of violence, in which rape and sexual violence become a language.


Void of any over-simplification, The Brotherhood recognises the powers of fascination that these fraternities sometimes exert, notably in the history of art. In doing so, the text enters into a zone of uncertainty, on the border between repulsion and attraction for the dynamics of male power. Carolina Bianchi puts the instruments of theatre to use in the aim of opening up possible avenues of reflection, interweaving persistent links between representation and traumatism, structures of power in art and radical poetry, as well as the origins of misogyny and a sexuality in crisis. Even the form that the show takes reveals itself to be a trap: it weakens the female writer and director’s authority, transforming her into a spectral figure. In the first act, Carolina Bianchi interviews Klaus Haas, a powerful, world-renowned theatre director. In the second, a group of male performers take over the stage, meanwhile the artist herself gradually appears in the form of a ghost, haunted by her own desires.
