Summary/Abstract: The central character in Elise Wilk’s drama is a teenage schoolgirl who one day has naked photos of herself posted on the internet, which turns into a scandal. The circumstances of the incident and the nature of bullying at school are gradually explored by the characters around the girl, all of whom are women. At the same time, the individual voices of the sister, mother, aunt, friend, classmate, lawyer, policewoman, teacher, headmistress, and the individual voices associated with the case, outline the different experiences and problems of femininity - the mosaic-like image of femininity emphasises the constructed nature of gender roles in society.Wilk was commissioned to write the play by Gianina Cărbunariu, director of the Youth Theatre in Karachonka, and it was premiered in 2018, with the all-female cast being one of the criteria for the commission. The text, translated by Ferenc André, can be read in our magazine.
