»Who among you is brave enough to jump over their well-proportioned shadow in the interest of world peace?«
We travel to Athens, around the year 411 BC, the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta is in full swing and no end in sight. No end? Yes! The wise and determined Lysistrata manages to unite the women of Athens and Sparta for an unusual protest action: They call for a sex strike to force the men to make peace. »Don't you understand? We are blackmailing the men. Either they make peace with Sparta or they can go fishing on their entire front leave.«
It is not only a truly entertaining version of the ancient material but also a sharp political satire that critically illuminates the power dynamics between the genders as well as the futility of wars.
