Revisit your own gender biases through this mind-bending experiment developed by Maria Guadalupe, associate professor at INSEAD.

Can experiencing what the 2016 U.S. presidential candidates said and how they said it through gender-reversed characters, cause us to revisit our own biases and develop insights from different perspectives? Her Opponent uses documentary theatre techniques to re-create excerpts of the three 2016 U.S presidential debates. An actor performs the text, gestures, and movements of Hillary Clinton, but as a male Democratic candidate named Jonathan Gordon and an actress performs the text, gestures, and movements of Donald Trump, but as a female Republican candidate named Brenda King. A third actor plays the role of The Moderator from each of the three debates.

This workshop will show a recording of the full performance and lead the audience in a discussion of our discoveries.
