The Trojan Women: 2nd Season (UA)

Mon 24 Feb, 7 pm → TiF - Theater im Fridericianum
afterwards: Follow-up discussion with the artistic team and representatives of the Ukrainian community → TiF Foyer.

Troy has just been conquered by the Greeks and the war is over. The city lies in ruins, the men are dead and the surviving women are faced with a new beginning. The Trojan Women:
2nd Season searches for a new myth, because often enough women and their struggles are told exclusively from the victim's perspective - this production dares to break out. Everything is open to the Trojan women: So what to do? As part of the festival, the production uses the contrasting foil of the ancient material to address the female view of war and destruction and attempts to imagine an "after".
