Have you ever wondered what it feels like to live in a society where your worth is determined by the number of times you have given birth?

Documentary play “Socially Harmful Element” is a bold and moving piece about women who do not meet the society’s expectations. They face societal prejudices, pressure and labeling. These women have chosen their own paths—be it self-realization, conscious decision not to have children, or a simple fact that they have not found the right partner yet. But does that really make them socially harmful elements?

This play is a story about all of us—women, men, families and society where we live. None of us is merely a statistic.

Premiere: 14.11. 2024 Vaba Lava Narva teatrikeskus

Duration: 2h 40 ( with intermission)

The play is funded by the Ministry of Culture and the Cultural Endowment of Estonia.
