The Women Who Celebrate Thesmophoriae is a dark and daring comedy that conducts an “archaeology of humour,” where past and present collide in a boundless act of revenge. A group of trans women, gathered in Demeter’s temple, decide not only to cancel but to kill Euripides, the playwright who portrayed them cruelly in his tragedies.

With sharp humour, the play uses Aristophanes’ original as a springboard to stage a dramatic debate rooted in contemporary issues.

But why, after all, are trans women not allowed to use the bathroom? And who, in the end, truly has freedom of speech?

Humour is used to serve and illuminate the present, raising tense questions around identity, power, and the symbolic violence embedded in the very idea of “representation.” What was once political satire has now become a weapon of revenge. Because yes… sometimes, you need to gather to plan the attack.
