S.Mou.Th, in collaboration with the Cultural Organization "SynPOLITIS" -that is participating in the action of the Ministry of Employment and Social Security for the active support of unemployed individuals with the active participation of NGO's- will organize street theater performances referring to gender equality.

The performances will combine elements of verisimilitude and realism, with those of comedy and circus.
