Medusa - Maria S. Apostolatou, Konstantinos Palilis

Alice is a girl entering adolescence, and her stepfather gradually begins to approach her sexually, until he repeatedly rapes her. She tells no one what is happening to her and tries to find solutions to escape. She concludes that the only way to stop him is to study in a provincial town and move away from her stepfather-rapist. At the same time, she decides that, since she cannot punish him for his actions, she will take revenge on men who, while having everything (wife, family, job, money), seek validation from a young woman. Driven by the myth of Medusa who turned men to stone, Alice decides to "turn them to stone" by taking away the stability that gives men self-confidence and power over women. She manages to leave and carry out her plan, but her stepfather follows her and continues to abuse her. Her role as Medusa transforms her from victim to perpetrator, and her new life, culminating in love, makes her realize that she no longer wants revenge, but to live like any other girl. A theatrical play that addresses sexual abuse and gender-based violence.
