About the event:
Two years after the premiere of The Yellow Wallpaper at Aigaia Theater and six months after its presentation at Greece’s National Theater, this beloved production returns with a slightly reimagined version at Ktirion 53.
Based on the novella by American author Charlotte Perkins Gilman, the play draws from diary entries written by a young woman struggling with what appears to be postpartum depression. Her husband, a physician, isolates her in a country house to enforce a "rest cure" for what he labels a "temporary nervous depression—a slight hysterical tendency"—a diagnosis commonly assigned to women of that era. Confined to a nursery, he prohibits her from all creative work, imposing a strict regimen of diet, medication, and electrotherapy while also forbidding contact with familiar people, including her own child.

More about the event:
With nothing but the wallpaper in the room to occupy her, the protagonist becomes fixated on its intricate designs and patterns. Over time, these transform into a separate entity with which she develops a catalytic relationship, especially regarding her perception of gender identity and the restrictions imposed by the patriarchal narrative.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman's novella, first published in The New England Magazine in January 1892, is celebrated as an early landmark of American feminist literature. Gilman boldly addresses themes of women’s mental health, the stigma surrounding mental illness, confinement and control over the female body, the suppression of women through marriage, the invalidation of female identity, restrictions on women’s freedom of expression, and exclusion from work and intellectual creation.
