Theatre Play “The Virgin Case” by Montenegrin Royal Theatre “Zetski Dom”
ArTurbina – Tirana
This theatrical performance brings to the stage the stories of individuals who lived extraordinary lives in our region, uncovering the hypocrisy and cruelty of society, which seems not to have changed much to this day. By looking at historical events and their experiences, we understand that even today there are profound violations of rights: the emotional destruction of individuals, the denial of the right to choose, and the stripping away of fundamental freedoms.Yet, historically, there has been progress: people can speak more openly about problems, women are more equal to men, and gender equality as well as various freedoms are advancing. For this reason, our character closes with the line: ‘Better times have come.’ But the question remains: are these truly better times?
