Is life easier for beautiful women? Is female beauty achievable through hard work, self-discipline and surgical intervention? Are our bodies really ours, or do they belong to those who give them a like and commment? Multiple generations of women attempt, through their own stories, to define their stance on beauty, the ways it influences their life, relationships, sex, as well as personal fulfilment. This performance is another title that is part of the Flexxila project, in which we look at the fate of Helen of Troy through a contemporary lens.
Followed by a discussion led by an expert of the beauty myth.
