Serena’s upcoming work is a loose adaptation on the Greek classic, Lysistrata. It is an interrogation of the concepts of war and gender tropes. This piece takes the ideas of power, dominance, and conflict, and challenges what is beneath violence to discover the truth of intimacy. The piece creates a conceptual pendulum that swings between dominance and surrender- violence and intimacy. This piece offers a critique of violent tactics of conflict, and invites a broader understanding of the frameworks of power.
