Porneia

by Golda Barton, based on the comedy Lysistrata by Aristophanes directed by Isabelle Redfern Tickets
In 411 BC, Aristophanes wrote the play Lysistrata, in which women from Athens and Sparta stand together against their warmongering husbands and use their own weapons to »declare war« on them. With success, as peace ensues. A comedy, that is.

Aggression, unrest, femicide, racism, hate speech and bullying – where is all this hatred coming from and how can we build a more peaceful society? Golda Barton uses a contemporary storyline and astute dialogue to ask questions about love and justice in a divisive world.
