Inspired by the Greek comedy, LYSISTRATA, follows three young women over the course of an evening - Lampito, Calonice, and Myrrhine - as they venture into the uncharted online world of LYSISTRATA.com, an exclusive virtual club experience for the elite, and a place where pleasure and danger toe a very fine line. We will be exploring the ways multiple artistic disciplines - auditory storytelling, music, dance, poetry,  visual art - invite audience members into the interactive world of the play, all to be featured on an original, curated website built to house the show.
 

Through falsehood and camp, LYSISTRATA will put ‘Clubbing’ on display. For those who have craved the long lines, loud bass, and overpriced drinks, this production aims to examine the ways nightlife spaces (and gender-marginalized people’s connections to such spaces) play a role in the relationships we form and communities we cultivate. This concept holds a new importance as we attempt to adapt to the online versions - bastardizations - of the spaces we once inhabited. Can these experiences that depend so heavily on connection; on feeling; on bodies in space together, be artificialized?
