Congolese performer Eric Androa uses his body to tell the story of two women. Two of the thousands of female victims of rape in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. For more than 2 decades a war has been raging there that took the lives of more than 5 million people. Once raped, these women are rejected by their husbands. Forced to flee they find themselves in a permanent exodus. But without women there are no more births, there are no more lives and society will collapse. Eric Androa: ‘With my performative acts I want to denounce this barbaric war tactics that targets women with the aim of destroying society’.
