- Story
- It is an episodic absurd play about how society sees the place of women and men. It is a satire about how a patriarchal system, specifically an Iranian one, functions and reproduces itself. The play starts with a woman who is the seventh girl in a family, and her parents have named her unwanted. The mother kept having children wishing for a boy, but she continued having girls. The mother was particularly unhappy with the seventh one, as she considered herself a failure for giving birth to too many girls. The play, inspired by Federico Fellini's style, the great Italian auteur, using music and light, portrays a society full of double standards and contradictions.
