The Condemned Women: a poetic, musical crime drama

Set around 1900, this play follows poor women who became pregnant outside marriage. Under the pressure of shame, hunger and poverty, some of them made a desperate choice and took the lives of their newborn children.

It is a poetic, musical and unsettling crime drama that puts the women's living conditions and the social structures that shaped their fates in the spotlight. It is created in close collaboration between directors and actors and draws on inspiration from authentic criminal cases.
