The day women said no

Almost 2,500 years ago, Aristophanes launched a biting comedy, Lysistrata, in which women undertake a sexual boycott to force men to end the war. The idea will go a long way: even today, all over the world, not on stage but in “real life”, women are successfully undertaking what sociologists have dubbed non-lysistratic actions!

Victor Forest is furious: worldwide, inexplicable decline, sales of the Ferplex which, by revolutionizing the treatment of infertility, became the cash cow of his pharmaceutical company. He summons Lysis, the drug manager, to identify and solve the problem. But Lysis leads a double life: high-placed, but also ecofeminist activist. It was quickly made known that a spontaneous international movement has turned into concerted action: everywhere, women will refuse to give birth until the boy club stops leading the world to its loss.

For this creation on touching issues Lorraine Pintal, puts her signature on the staging, has appealed to two formidable playwrights engaged in the current debates: Fanny Britt and Alexia Bürger. A diverse cast of twenty actors and comedians – including the impressive Monia Chokri in Lysis, – gives full scope to this great interdisciplinary show, under the musical direction of Philippe Brault.
