Ildikó Gáspár's production reimagines Heinrich von Kleist's 1808 novella "Die Marquise von O." by weaving it together with three contemporary cases of sexual violence. The work examines the persistent themes of violence, silence, and blame-shifting across three centuries, highlighting how women's voices challenge and resist these patterns.
This 1 hour 55 minute piece performed without intermission creates a powerful dialogue between classical literature and modern reality, exploring trauma, agency, and resilience. With a recommended age of 16+ and content warnings for themes of sexualized violence and rape, this is a challenging and necessary theatrical examination of how society processes and confronts sexual violence. The production features strobe effects.
