The performance is built around tragicomic events created by Zalkha and her seven daughters in a temporary detention cell at a police station. The delicate portrayal of themes such as a woman’s fate, maternal sacrifice, and family bonds gives the production deep emotional meaning, transforming it from a simple comedy into a thought-provoking stage work.
