The imagination has opened a space for questions about what would happen if the order by which the world is governed changes. Different dystopias have illustrated these scenarios: animals that take control of a farm, firefighters that start fires to destroy the books, humans created in crops and genetically modified according to the social class they will occupy, a global infertility that keeps women as slaves. sexual ... But what would happen in the world

if men disappeared from the face of the earth

and control was exclusive to women?

The answer, or at least the possibility, is in

Y: El Último Hombre,

the new Hulu series that this Wednesday, September 22, premieres Disney +. An adaptation of the DC comic series of the same name, created by Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra between 2002 and 2008. Imagine a post-apocalyptic world where

a cataclysm kills all mammals with a Y chromosome

, except a man and his pet (a monkey that always accompanies him, like Marco and Amedio), and addresses a society where women struggle to rebuild identities and restore the social system.

"It is an updated version of the comic. The creators themselves were very generous in telling us: 'we wrote this 20 years ago, now it's yours'. And that's what we did, give it our own spin," explains Eliza Clark in conversation with EL MUNDO ,

showrunner

of the series. When her current husband gave her the books in 2009, she kept wondering how gender and chromosomes are different from each other: "I wanted to write a story that explored femininity, masculinity and humanity around these concepts" .

The key to adaptation was not setting limits to diversity.

Play with the variety of "beautiful and interesting" spectra that identity encompasses

, according to the producer. "We human beings like to create categories to better understand our world, but they tend to be oppressive. I wanted to escape binary categories," he details.

The entire issue is approached from a feminist perspective, but with a focus on human behavior and the barriers imposed socially by the species itself. "One of the main questions it raises is

who you are without the oppressive system imposing it on you,

" says the protagonist of the fiction, Ashley Romans. With the extinction of almost all men and the collapse of the social system, survivors feel they have lost their connection with themselves and women begin to take control of their own narrative and their lives.

This also criticizes the role of the female in the perpetuation of these roles, as Clark defends: "

They also uphold the systems of oppression, white supremacy and patriarchy

. Unraveling from this procedure is going to be a very hard work." . And she adds: "I am a feminist, but my point of view is that human beings are defective, although they are capable of change."

Y: The Last Man

not only explores the man / woman binomial, it also addresses American politics, characterized by two very marked specters: Democrat or Republican. The production company says that some characters in the series, despite following the same ideological trend, have completely different ways of seeing life, according to her everything is nuanced. "Power and hierarchy, in these types of systems, work independently of gender. Creating a method that has people at the top and people at the bottom," he says.

The series will consist of at least five seasons and this first is just the preview of an idea that will be unraveled throughout the chapters.

A vision whose objective is to decipher how far you can go when the schemes are broken.

Therefore, the correct question is: What would happen if people took control over their identity?
