This is a story like so many others of women trafficking… It must be reconstituted! Let’s begin our reconstitution by the end. We are now in the twentieth century.
This is the Grapetes Drama Club new project: believing that the theme of trafficking of women around the world needs to be discussed, the group will presenr a performance based on the text “Polacas”, written by the author Analy Avarez. The piece intends to portray the exploitation suffered by Jewish women in the early twentieth century. White Polish women, who came from families affected by the gaps left by the World War I, used to be deluded by dealers: men who lived with the money of the pimping and were responsible for trafficking women to force them into the prostitution in Latin America.
