Women will lead the beginning of the New Civilization, so that men can get some time off and finally be stripped of their stressful, unhealthy duty as heads of state, and so they can slowly again reconcile with their feminine sides that have been repressed for over 2000 years.
The earth has unfortunately ended, but we'll try again... As a result of capitalism and thus global warming the earth has gone under. Fortunately, a small group of Chosen Ones travels with the prophet of the New Time Ladder to another planet to start a society from scratch. The audience is invited into the spaceship, where they are handed a survival pack containing biscuits and manifesto. In the spaceship on the way to the new planet, the prophet will inform about everything that is to happen.
The ancient society of Age I was built on masculine “values” such as growth, power, and oppression. It didn't work out so well. Thankfully, we've been given a second chance.
Age II premiered at HAUT.
Mission: The new society must be built on the feminine values of maternal omnipotence, equality and care. A new definition of gender must also be established, so that the focus is on the feminine and masculine as energies (yin/yang) and not as something that necessarily depends on biological sex.
Women will initially lead the new civilization so that the men can have some time off and finally be stripped of their stressful, unhealthy duty as heads of state and so that they can slowly reunite with their feminine sides that have been suppressed for over 2000 years. In relation to the masculine side of the man, he must acquire a new, healthy hobby that can satisfy his need for projects — this enormous need to have a project, the woman naturally has in her body, since she can bear a child. The male urge to also have a project is what resulted in capitalism and the abuse of power and the decay of self-age I.
