Aqua Tofana brings a bold and visionary approach to this gripping historical tale. Giulia Tofana’s creation, Aqua Tofana, became more than a deadly concoction—it symbolized autonomy for women trapped in oppressive circumstances. By exploring this chapter of history, we aim to bring to light the hidden strengths, community bonds, and quiet resilience of women who defied the social order. Through Aqua Tofana, we hope to weave a story of sisterhood and survival, revealing the silent yet powerful ways in which women fought for freedom.

By bringing this tale to the stage, Are We Delicious? aims to illuminate the quiet, yet powerful acts of defiance that shaped women's history, offering audiences a poignant narrative of survival and empowerment. Would you dare drink from the cup of vengeance?

Join us for this compelling exploration of courage, resistance, and the untold power of community. Performing at Broom Street Theater at 1119 Willliamson Street in Madison.
