The ten actresses of Elektrolyse speak on stage without shame about taboo subjects such as menstruation or the female sex and bring up how uncomfortable women sometimes feel in their bodies and how this feeling can influence their self-image. The play is for everyone who is tired of feeling ashamed and tired of blushing. It is meant to give security, to give courage and also to provoke a little bit.
