The work is inspired by The Suppliants of Aeschylus, the earliest tragedy surviving to our days and the first play in the history of humankind that exposes the issue of violence against women, migration, asylum seeking, as well as the rights of women to decide over their bodies and lives.
In order to escape incestuous marriages and rapes by their Egyptian cousins, the 50 daughters of Danaus cross the Mediterranean sea. Subsequently they arrive in Greece as refugees and asylum seekers to the port of Argos.
The story of The Suppliants becomes a canvas, interweaving old and new stories of hope and courage, violence and despair. The young women are twice more exposed to the hard conditions of migration, to the danger of exploitation and trafficking, and to the inhuman treatment they sometimes receive from their own families.
The human drama that inspired the tragic poet 2.500 years ago, unfortunately is still going on.
