Athens and Sparta have been at war for years with no end in sight, and Lysistrata has an answer. She unites the women of Athens in a sex strike to force the men to come to their senses. Synetic, in collaboration with Georgetown University's Theater and Performance Studies Program, brings its unique blend of movement, dance, text, and music to Aristophanes' timeless political satire, a smash since its premiere in 500 B.C.
