Lisístrata

During the long Peloponnesian War, Athenians and Spartans leave their homes and family duties aside. To put an end to the situation, the beautiful Lysistrata will call the women of both sides to an unprecedented revolt: a sex strike that will force reflection on the suffering combatants. The double pacifist and feminist message of Lysistrata -and its eventual vaudevillian character- has made it the most performed, imitated and adapted work of Aristophanes since the middle of the 19th century, not only in text theater, but also in the musical theatre, in the opera, in the cinema and in the comics, even becoming a symbolic tool of denunciation of contemporary armed conflicts.
