Massage is a contemporary monodrama that, with irony, humor, and anger, explores the societal pressure placed on the female body, roles, and identity. Through images from a beauty salon, the central character touches on themes of normality, obedience, sexuality, motherhood, and the expectations imposed on women as well as men. The production reveals how dangerous the idea of perfection can be and asks who the notion that “everything is fine” truly serves.
