As Mulheres que Celebram as Tesmofórias is a dark and daring comedy that performs an “archaeology of humor”, where past and present meet with a vengeance without limits. A group of trans women, gathered in the temple of Demeter, decide not only to cancel, but to kill Euripides, the playwright who portrayed them so cruelly in his tragedies. Using sharp humor, the play uses Aristophanes' original to bring to life a contemporary dramatic debate. Humor serves and illuminates the present, tensely questioning everything that is identity, power or even the symbolic violence of the idea of “representations”. Humor, which used to be political satire, has now become a weapon of revenge! That's right... sometimes you have to get together to plan your attack. — Odete
