Menopause and Beyond... (Musical Theatre - New Stage) - tickets

Event Description

The musical features four women of 'menopausal' age. They all have problems they need to deal with. We want to show that menopause is a part of a woman's life - the heroines performing on stage, but also the women sitting in the audience - have had, have, or will have them. It is a challenging time for women, which does not mean it is hopeless. The awareness of the community of certain experiences is important - the women in the audience learn that their ailments are not something exceptional. Despite menopause affecting all women, it is a taboo subject, and as such - carefully avoided.

Through the performance, we aim to illustrate, in a way that is understandable, accessible, and humorous, how various ways exist to cope with it. Some heroines want to undergo hormone replacement therapy, others fear it and choose herbal medicine, while others turn to yoga or gym exercises. The play aims to showcase these various behaviors, always in a humorous way - especially since humor itself is an excellent remedy (without side effects). By laughing, we more easily endure life's adversities.

The actresses are not afraid of humor, nor are they ashamed to portray characters in middle and older age. They are well-known media figures capable of amusing and touching the audience. They show that women can be active and creative, enjoying life and adapting to their age. No one, like another woman, understands the sufferings experienced during this time. Hence the popular 'women's' meetings where one can talk about 'embarrassing' topics that are hard to discuss with men or children. We believe that the problems of menopause are best characterized by the initial text that women 'rap' at the beginning of the show. The performance aims to show that every woman has her own good way of dealing with it all. The most important thing is for this topic to cease being taboo, so that it can be discussed. Important topics do not have to be presented seriously, which is why humor is so important in the performance.

In the play, in a humorous way, we talk and sing about hot flashes, which for many women is something embarrassing. Here we hear the melody of the song 'Kuba wyspa jak wulkan gorąca' and the heroines singing: 'I feel the hot flash again O-la! E-ja! As if my forehead touched the sun the tropical heat ignites me.' The pursuit of perfection is sometimes accompanied by enormous sacrifice, which the heroines describe in the song: 'I can’t catch my breath anymore... And success is already here... My trainer promised me that ten grams will drop...'. These women are aware of the passing time, which does not spare them, but they do not intend to be discouraged; they accept it as something that is part of every woman's life who crosses the milestone of 50 years. A wonderful comedy - one of the most frequently performed in recent years on the stages of theatres throughout Poland! Tickets available at: KupBilecik.pl
