A postmodern adaptation for stage and video based on Aristophane’s play

by Emanuella Amichai and Ran Slavin
Director and choreographer: Emanuella Amichai
Video director and post production: Ran Slavin
Aristophanes play tells the story of Lysistrata and the women of Greece who went on a sex-strike against their men until they ended the Peloponnesian War. In Lysistrata/X we find ourselves in a futuristic world, following the Lysistratian Revolution which didn’t end with the peace treaty, in fact it developed and grew ever more extreme. The world is now ruled entirely by women, men are of only functional use.
