A theater production with the kind support of the berliner schauspiel school “When I protest, the other side's first weapon is rape. When I want something, I get thrown back to being just a woman. To be a woman means to be locked in a grave. "

“Ka in the grave” is a snapshot of the Egyptian spring from the perspective of a pair of sisters. While one sister is confronted with her own disappointments, the other has never dared to want anything from life. In both cases the woman's rebellion is nipped in the bud; be it through direct violence or through the fear of the male sex instilled in childhood.

"To be a woman means to be locked in a grave."

That is the final realization that both sisters have to make for themselves - a sentence that to this day reflects the life experience of many women around the world.
