FRENCH: La Barbe ‡
‡ ) Lit., “The Beard” = i.e., Basta!, Enough already!; “La Barbe” is also the name of a recently formed French Feminist collective
started in Spring of 2008 (in the wake of
Dominique Strauss-Kahn’s arrest in N.Y.C. for attempted rape & the perceived sexism of the French press's coverage), staging stage guerilla theatre, & appearing during
official ceremonies or gatecrashing talkshows & corporate boardrooms, &
reading parodies specifically prepared to match the particular occasion while wearing
fake beards
