Lisístrata. Occupy Acrópolis

In Lysistrata Occupy Acropolis, we have asked ourselves if you can put a comedy inside a tragedy. We have not tried to resort to magic, neither to the fantastic nor to the fabulous. Let’s say that we have said “OK, we don’t know when, nor how, but we know that this is going to end very badly for everyone, so let’s start by taking it easy”. But when this happens in the middle of a war, can we do the same? Our Lysistrata is a young university student who hears the explosion of the bombs, her mobile loses connection and ceases to have contact with her family and with the rest of the world, our Lysistrata moves from Athens during the Peloponnesian War in 420 BC to Mariupol in Ukraine invaded by Russia in 2022 AD. Disheveled, wounded, but not alone.
