Mao's Sisters

"What is it like to be the wife of Mao Zedong, to manage the Red Guards, and to determine the direction of art for an entire state? What is it like to be a communist and an avant-garde artist in... 1960s America? What is it like to seek your own path when you are disliked by both those around you and yourself?
Three main characters. Three parallel stories about what it means to be a woman, how not to get lost in the shadow of talented and heartless men – how to stage a performance that convinces others of the correctness of your ideals.
«It is immoral – but then all great deeds that remain in history and have not been swept away by its current are also immoral. If the need arose, she would kill not only her sister but also herself. This was a conflict of two right sides, in which both sides must be prepared for death»."
