On Saturday, December 6th, the theatrical performance "The Strike of the Girls - The Heroicomic Endeavor of 1902" will take place as part of the XVI Edition of the 5Vie theater festival, at the Teatro San Gaetano in Castion.
Girls, or rather little girls, who worked as apprentices with the tailors of the city. The smallest was only six years old and the oldest just fourteen. Their strike was the first child labor strike in the history of Europe. For five long days.
These tiny creatures fought against the giants of their time. Their story speaks to us directly and powerfully, because their strike tells us that no right is won or defended without risk, without putting oneself on the line, and that the path to democracy is a constant effort in which one cannot back down.
