FOR REAL is a podcast on human dignity, made by Resonate Productions. This episode was recorded on the 5th of May 2024 at Lunalia in nona, Festival van Vlaanderen, Mechelen.

For each episode, 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).

In this episode:

(01:50) Eva [°1974 - Oudenaarde, BE] on being in a panel about female hormones, and being talked down to by an older male professor. “You did that really well.”

(06:17) Rebecca [°1984 - Zottegem, BE] on being small, looking young, and (not) being taken seriously. With remarks on hair, clothes and figure coming from people who care about you.

(10:41) Marjolijn [°1981 - Jette, BE] on the impossible assignment we get as humans, in allegory of the fairytale of Rumpelstilskin.

(18:50) Annemarie [°1980 - Leuven, BE] on taking up too much space and being ‘too much’ as a girl and woman, and how that message gets passed on by mothers and daughters.

(20:48) Anouk [°1984 - Belgium] on young teenagers against the old Greek in highschool, because “these texts are so sexist!”

(24:20) “What do you deserve?” Marie [°1987 - Utrecht, NL] “I am constantly wondering, am I on the right side?”

(27:02) Andrea [°1989 - Brugge, BE] a lot of dignity for the Flemish people.
