“Perseids or how to party hard” by Zoe Sigalou and Marina Siotou
Is there any room for love in the generation of dissociation and tinder dates? How can you revolt in a world that is constantly fighting against you and your whole identity? Five girls crave to fall in love, to express themselves, and to live their dream, even though they were born and raised in a world where love didn’t come as they expected. Raising their voice against what defined them to this day, they unite in one entity, one solid body. A “dance" of the “here-and-now,” where the ladies’ room transforms into a space of release and liberation. A sharp, delightful, moving manifesto.

“Perseids or how to party hard” by Zoe Sigalou and Marina Siotou
- This work was created as part of the Goethe-Institut New Stages Southeast workshop for young theater authors, supported and moderated by Prodromos Tsinikoris and Jens Hillje.
- The production shines a light on small moments of liberation that burst forth inside a women’s toilet. It delineates a possible point of departure for a revolution in the face of everything that defines us, limits us, and makes us –as femininities– feel small and weak in a world that wasn’t built for us.
- By spotlighting personal confessions and stories, the work seeks to empower the expression of both personal freedom and self-ownership by femininities who came of age in the time of social media, Barbie, and the Kardashians.
