Mystery "The Marches of the Atalantas"

Atalanta is a heroine of Ovid's Metamorphoses, an independent and fast runner. She loses a race during which three golden apples of Venus are thrown onto the path, distracting the runner. In her book Backlash, writer Susan Faludi uses this myth as a metaphor for the struggle for women's liberation: as women approach freedom, their attention is diverted by the glitter offered by society and the market – promises of consumption and demands for self-improvement and popularity. The mystery "The Marches of the Atalantas" by the dance group "SpokŠok" is not just a story about runners for freedom, but also a collectively experienced transformation. The mystery will invite you to recognize modern golden apples – temptations that promise freedom but become new constraints. The role of the savior, endless productivity, the ideal of strength that hides exhaustion, the cult of self-improvement, or the belief that freedom is merely the ability to choose – how many of these traps do we recognize in our own lives? Perhaps it is time to reclaim our time, voice, body, and direction? Let's recognize. Let's liberate. Let's run together and… finish! We invite all women and girls, LBT women, and non-binary individuals.
