Esther Perel on Power dynamics in relationships in {The And}

Esther Perel responds to a scene from the Emmy-award winning documentary project {The And}, that puts the viewer into the emotional space of real relationships. Perel chose an intimate conversation between longtime couple Marcela and Rock to look deeper into the sexual powerlessness of men and the power dynamics that exist in all relationships.

Esther Perel talks about the interactive documentary project {The And} by Topaz Andizes, in which couples are being filmed while having a conversation about their relationship with each other.

“We talk a lot about the power of men, but we should also talk about the powerlessness of men.”
“There exists no relationship without power dynamics. Children, parents, partners, co-workers, boss, employees – there is always a power dynamic.”
