Description
A documentary theatre performance with elements of fiction and an ongoing documentary film come together in a performative piece exploring the lives of exiled women on the island of Trikeri from 1948 to 1952, during the final years of the Civil War and the period that followed. An original dramaturgy and musical composition based on historical research, testimonies, letters, interviews with close relatives, songs and poems of the exiled women — as well as on our own attempt to enter into dialogue with them, approaching these women not as heroic monuments but as human beings. The prison camp on Trikeri island was a non-place where the bare lives of exiled women had been rendered killable. In such conditions, can collective life and the idea of community become a vital source of strength and a form of resistance? And arriving at the present day: how can historical memory and an encounter with the past become tools for the present? How can people confront collective, intergenerational trauma and imagine a radically different future?
