“The Perfect Body” addresses the obsession with a magazine cover physique.

Eve Ensler dared, once again, to show fundamental questions of femininity and the frameworks that a patriarchal society dictates on the questions of what a “perfect” body looks like.
The theater piece is more than an exploration of the strength, sexuality, courage and humor with which a woman can develop. Tickets are on sale at Uepa Tickets, National Supermarket, Jumbo and the National Theater box office.
