In a world on the brink of collapse due to an endless war, the sex strike is the only weapon of rebellion. Lysistrata returns to the stage, irresistible and highly topical, to cry: 'Women of the world, unite!' The play is based on the serious and universal theme of war, which has always plagued humanity. Rather than a comic character, Lysistrata herself appears as a tragic heroine. In Athens, all the men are at the front, while the politicians and technocrats in Athens and Sparta are either unable or unwilling to resolve the situation. This great comedy is provocative, shaking consciences and suggesting alternative visions. Can a sex strike stop war and revive life and love? Today, more than ever, this hilarious comedy remains relevant, offering a message of hope: 'Women of the world, unite!'
