| Sophia Linispori and Konstantina Mavropoulou in "The washing machine" by Thanasis Triaridis |
Last month I
had the opportunity to see Thanasis Triaridis’ theatre play “The washing
machine”. Two mothers meet three times at a public laundry. In the first
meeting, mother A looks distraught, shocked, deeply sad: the previous day her
son was given the “honour” of carrying out the public decapitation of a girl.
Mother B looks happy and pleased, congratulates mother A for her son and
answers her concern that her son did something noble, obeyed the law and the
law takes care of everyone. The law says that girls are not useful, thus they
need to be eliminated.
