These 2 Shall Pass
An animalistic, grotesque, sexy and self-humored duet that presents an eye-opening take on the feminine experience.
“Women are not an animal you can beat… there is insight and there is intelligence and there is cognition and there are feelings… women are animals. Animals with rights” (PM Benjamin Netanyahu).
In the midst of a global process of recognizing gender inequality, Oryan and Ilana manifest the common and contradictory statement “this too shall pass”.
“As women, we are fed up with the multitude of “advises” directed at us nonstop. It seems that everyone has better insight for us on how to be a better woman, a calm woman, an attractive woman, a woman who constantly needs to change and adapt herself. We find ourselves in an absurd situation in which we are in a constant internal conflict, that raises many questions: what am I REALLY going through? What will pass? And what will remain?”
