Wittig Yes! introduces Wittig’s political, theoretical, and literary ideas through the creative collaborations with her partner Sande Zeig and a new generation of international academics and writers who articulate the foundations of her conceptual revolution. Zeig interweaves excerpts of work they developed over the years through archival film, photographs, personal notes, as well as theatrical readings. We move with them from France, to Greece, California, and Arizona. The three decades of public and private archival materials unveil Monique Wittig not only as a revolutionary writer, thinker, and activist but also as a multifaceted individual with a profound compassion for others, a deep love of nature, and an exceptional sense of humor. She leaves a legacy that continues to have an impact on our current ideas of gender and political thought.
