It’s funny
She sees the boys moving in packs now
She sees the girls hiding themselves now
She sees the men fighting their rage now
She sees the women holding their breath now
It’s funny
It’s right now, but it’s the same as before
Of course this has all happened before
So many times before
So many times we can’t be bothered to keep count any more
But it’s funny. It’s funny. Is it still funny?
Young SixSix presents a bold reimagining of the Ancient Greek comedy Lysistrata. Transported to the battleground of Bristol’s streets, it explores the complex relationships between a group of young people trying to figure out their place in the world.
Devised by the company, with support from Bristol poet Vanessa Kisuule as writer in the room, this restless retelling looks at the tragedy of violence and the battle for young people to defend their own bodies and futures.
