Description
When you enter the room, expect to be challenged to think differently. Filthy follows theatre-maker Bárbara Mestanza as she turns her experience of sexual assault during a massage into a theatre performance. She looks back on what happened, questions her own reactions and challenges the idea of what a “perfect victim” should look like.

The screening will start with an introduction by a specialist who will help break the taboo around sexual assault. Afterwards, we’ll have an open conversation with experts, creating a safe space to reflect on the complexities of sexual assault, challenge common misconceptions, and explore how we can better understand and support survivors. ‎
