Elevate your experience of the exhibition “Power of the People: Art and Democracy” by seeing an adaptation of ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes’s Assemblywomen, collaboratively devised by Emerson professor Dana Edell along with undergraduate performing art students.

In this hilarious, gender-bending comedy, originally performed in 391 BCE, the women of Athens take the state into their own hands, critiquing the aptitude and motives of the male citizenry and trying, once and for all, to prove that “anything boys can do, girls can do better.” Don’t miss this inventive modern take on an ancient text that has absurd yet haunting resonances with our present moment.
