Theatro tou Neou Kosmou presents ‘The Sexual Neuroses of Our Parents’

The Theatro tou Neou Kosmou is presenting the play ‘The Sexual Neuroses of Our Parents’ by Swiss dramatist Lucas Bairfuss. Directed by Konstantinos Markoulakis, the production features Christina Cheila-Fameli in the lead role of Dora and Alexandra Aidini as her mother.

The plot follows Dora, who becomes involved in what resembles an experiment when her parents and doctor decide to discontinue the psychotropic medications that had previously kept her suppressed. Once liberated from this confinement, she explores her own desires and sexuality. Her behavior, which does not adhere to social conventions, causes discomfort and is eventually labeled a ‘problem,’ raising questions regarding the boundaries between protection and freedom.

Through dark humor, the play examines social tolerance and power dynamics within the family unit. The production marks a return to the stage for this work, which was originally presented at the same theater in November 2005.
