Anna Karènina

Who is Anna when she abandons her husband and child? Who is Anna without the family name that gives her a place in the world? What do others see when she breaks with the hypocritical society around her? Why does everyone always project themselves onto women? Why can't we have control over our own bodies? Why are we ‘the woman’, instead of being women, different and bound together by an unfair history that has been shared throughout the world and since time immemorial? What does each of us project when we see a woman's body?

Anna and the other women in the play are brought on stage to stand trial. But before they do, they will tell us what really happened to them, how they felt (no one cared, of course) and what drove one of them to commit suicide.

There is so much beauty in Anna Karènina: a powerful and transformative spiritual river that constantly reminds us that beyond the inertia of desire with which we devour each other, there may still be time to find a place where we can dream of happiness.
