Περιγραφή στα Αγγλικά
The lawyer sits at a desk surrounded by legal documents that glow under interrogation-room light. Prima Facie enters your consciousness like a courtroom brief — efficient, devastating, designed to change how you understand consent and testimony. Poreia at Victoria fills with audiences ready to reckon with how language functions as weapon or shield.
Prima Facie presents Suzie Miller's one-woman show about a successful attorney whose confidence in the justice system evaporates when the system fails her. The monologue format becomes the play's argument — one voice against institutional machinery, personal testimony pitted against procedural protocol. The actress will carry you through legal and emotional territory simultaneously.
Poreia at Victoria provides the intimate setting this solo performance demands. The one-person format requires the audience's full attention, the actor's proximity making eye contact literal. The venue's historic significance — Victoria Square territory in central Athens — adds weight to an evening already politically charged.
Miller's script handles consent, sexual assault, and legal process with precision that refuses sentimentality. The language is sophisticated, the arguments constitutional. The performance creates moments of identification — you see yourself in the protagonist's beliefs, then watch those beliefs fail. By intermission, your relationship to justice and testimony has shifted.
The crowd arrives predisposed to engagement. Theater enthusiasts seeking work that takes political and personal stands. Women recognizing their own experiences in the monologue. Men coming to witness perspectives they might not encounter elsewhere. The demographic diversity speaks to the play's power to reach across positions.
If you need comfortable narratives or productions that affirm your existing beliefs, Prima Facie will challenge your positioning. The play doesn't offer resolution or catharsis. It offers clarity about legal process and emotional consequence. But if you've been seeking theater that uses one person's story as argument against institutional failure — Poreia holds this particular testimony.
Prima Facie — one voice against institutional machinery.
