Does he carry prejudices so self-evident that he no longer notices them? Does he, as an author and director, corroborate the patriarchy that rules cultural life in the Congo? And what do female artists have to say about that?

On stage, four crazy musicians create a mystic Christian orchestra that wants to find out the sex of God. The only woman on stage, irritated by the Bible’s masculine vision of God, objects.

Or: how can you be at peace with yourself, when you notice your own similarities and discrepancies to the latent patriarchy?
