Imprisoned women doing theatre
ONLY LIVE
Women in prison, are they a relevant topic? The topic is about
imprisoned Tunisian women Using theatre as their source of
entertainment and motivation. Locked up in a cell every day for months
or even years, people start to lose hope and motivation. They feel
useless, they’re throwing their lives away. But this group of women had
hope and a glimpse of light. They started doing theatre as their hobby,
the prison provided them with space to perform and that was the only
time they felt free. The guards who once stood and watched them with
discuss became their audience and were fascinated by their skill and
creativity.
