Giraffes. Urban fable #1

Part of the Trilogy of Urban Fables by Catalan author Pau Miró, Giraffes reflects the strong desire of every ordinary woman to be unconventional and free. Centered on an apparently mundane object, but nonetheless one that has revolutionized the life of every woman in the past century: the washing machine. Set in Romania 1968, Giraffes is a family play that tackles subjects as feminism, traditional values, free will and love. Within a conceptual and suggestive set design, Radu Afrim’s tragic-comic staging shows the hidden wilderness and poetics of the woman’s soul and the fragility of the machoism system with defying and ironic humor.
