Ühiskondlikult kahjulik element

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 “Societally  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.
