Women In Parliament is an attempt at communication/dialogue between this Aristophanes’ comedy and the current state of mind (and body) in Serbia today and in part also in Serbia yesterday (generally speaking, Serbia in the recent past) through toying with different theatre forms/genres. The production is a collage of different theatre procedures which, fused together, represent the schizophrenic socio-political daily life in Serbia, which we all experience personally today in the 21st century. With the help of Aristophanes’ extraordinarily witty and topical text, the team involved in the production has tried to use a bitter joke to confront the mental and ideological absurdity in the country we still live in.
