After the completion of the 2nd theater season in Athens, the show “Agoramana” by Aphrodite Mitsopoulou starts another tour with destination also Ioannina.
The work explores, chronicles and deconstructs the experiences of motherhood and fatherhood, gradually illuminates gender inequality, which continues unabated today, and boldly unravels the thread of violence against women. A new mother finds that raising children under conditions of social pressure and incessant “well-intentioned” instructions ends up being an arduous and intensely lonely job. Is she the only one who feels this way? Is she a bad mother?
Between stand-up comedy, documentary and musical performance, “Agoramana” is an honest opening into the world of motherhood and parenthood in general. Aphrodite Mitsopoulou and Iakovos Molymbakis manage to exonerate the negative emotions that can torment a new parent, and embrace the embarrassment and insecurity he experiences. In a world of superficial perfection, mistakes and confusion serve as a reminder that we are human.
Each show hosts different guests on stage, who share their own story of parenthood or gender inequality.
The play “Agoramana” will be staged for two performances on Friday, May 17 and Saturday, May 18, at 9 p.m., on “Scene 125” of Theatrical Symplay (within KE.PA.VI.)
Performance duration 70 minutes. Ticket price 14 euros and 10 euros for the reduced price. Tickets on sale at “Anagnostis” and “Hartex” bookstores, as well as online at more.com. Reservations are required. Reservation numbers 2651312830, 6945533242 and 6983749922.
