This play was inspired by a 1975 critical essay titled “The Laugh of the Medusa” by French feminist writer, Hélène Cixous.

This work will set out as Cixous brilliantly writes “to break, to destroy; and to foresee the unforeseeable, to project,” and is presented by The Actors Studio Seni Teater Rakyat.
