Women in Parliament

Synopsis:
Aristophanes original piece was written in the 4th century BC, after Athens was ruined by the Peloponnesian war. It tells the story of Athenian women getting into Parliament disguised as men in order to take the next governments leadership. The women introduce radical changes in Athenians lives by enacting new laws; free love and abolition of private property at the forefront. Aristophanes wanted to send a strong message to the political leaders of his days: enough with the war, enough with testosterone running the country; lets rather enjoy a little of loving and tender care. It may be time for us to do the same, in this current climate of widespread austerity. The particular strength of Aristophanes play lies in its stark contrasting of gender roles. He creates hyperbolic situations where women apply their domestic skills to political goals, using house management capacities for the benefit of all. But even when dressed as men, they never stop being thoroughly feminine and humane in their policies. Can we say the same of the iron ladies of our present times  Margaret Thatcher and Angela Merkel to name a few? But obscure dark ages always reveal how ironic our lives can be. Here the best chances for a laugh are to be found, as crude and genuine as life itself. Aristophanes maintains this dialectic comic spirit and makes it a real protagonist of his play. And so does Theatro Technis.
