Theatre. Licht IV

On 21 April 2023 at the KVS (bol).

In 2014, ISIS carried out attacks on the Yazidis, a religious minority in northern Iraq. After executing a large part of the male population, they captured the women. Considered as spoils of war, over 7000 women and girls have become sexual slaves to the ISIS fighters, enduring repeated rapes, subsequent forced abortions and torture.

For this new creation Tea Tupajić calls upon the force and depth of theatre to enter where language and other mediums cannot. Throughout a period of one year, she invites four Yazidi women to retreat and to embark on a journey of preparation for the performance.
