Mirrors is a contemporary Greek play that explores themes of domestic violence, loneliness, female identity, and the struggle for self-recognition. Through monologues, dialogues, and choreographed fugues, the characters reveal fractured realities—women whose stories echo across generations and cultures. The play is both poetic and deeply realistic, blending silence, soundscapes, and visual metaphors such as the shattering of mirrors. It aims not only to tell individual stories, but also to create space for reflection, awareness, and dialogue around the urgent issue of domestic abuse.
