About
Before Barbie had KENough and infiltrated the patriarchy’s Mojo Dojo Casa House, there was Lysistrata. Aristophanes’ salty comedy set the stage for today's dynamic, prismatic, and problematic feminist icons. Join a faculty expert on political theatre to discuss the role of sex strikes within protest movements, and compare key scenes from the Greek comedy to recent adaptations like Spike Lee’s Chi-Raq.
