Fefu, a middle-aged woman, invites her friends for dinner. They come joyful, happy and full of ambition for life. The party takes a dramatic turn when they end up sharing their uncomfortable confessions that the hermetic, toxic patriarchal system has provided them with throughout their lives.
Revolt shows the violence, abuse, and consequences on their broken lives. Committed to her power, Fefu tries to empower women by judging them and comparing them to men, saying that men are more organized and loving among themselves. “More than us, they f*** cooperate with each other, we don’t,” says Fefu. With a rifle in her hand, she occasionally shoots her husband, which she explains to her friends as a game.
Some of the women are used to her behavior, and some are scared and terrified. The bitter truth of the consecutive events in the drama shows Fefu’s sensitive and painful side. At the end of the play, the directorial approach changes the drama – to kill the system by joining forces and protecting each other. May the love and light within them strengthen them, and the pain be resistance and strength to continue life.
