    In 2008, 18 girls from an American high school, all under 16, became pregnant at the same time. The most disturbing fact is that it seems that it was not a coincidence, but a secret pregnancy pact. It would appear that the 18 girls decided to be pregnant at the same time to help one other and raise their children together in a sort of feminine commune.
    Where can this idea of a pregnancy pact find its roots? What is the adult social context, the “hosting system”, in which this viral project of maternity could take roots and gain power?
    And whilst the girls come together and plan the new community, where are the boys? What do they think?
    On stage, two lines of severed heads. Hanging. On one side the adults. On the other side the young males, the teenage fathers.They are all hanging like hunting trophies, all nailed to the wall by a story that found them unprepared.
