THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES BY EVE ENSLER
October 18. - 20. 2018 at Ateliertheater, Burggasse 71, 1070 Wien
THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES by Eve Ensler
An Obie Award-winning whirlwind tour of a forbidden zone, The Vagina Monologues introduces a wildly divergent gathering of female voices, including a six-year-old girl, a septuagenarian New Yorker, a vagina workshop participant, a woman who witnesses the birth of her granddaughter, a Bosnian survivor of rape, and a feminist happy to have found a man who “liked to look at it.”
More than 200 women were questioned about their sexuality, love and relationships. Eve Ensler put it in a play and Thiasus Productions (in cooperation with VAST), chose it to be their debut production because now, more than ever, is it important to give these women a stage and that their voices are being heard.
