Italy, 13th Century - the Guglielmites heretical sect causes havoc in Milan. Their leader, Guglielma of Bohemia, believed to be the second coming of the Holy Spirit, appoints Sister Maifreda, indeed another woman, as her Popess. How dare two women proclaim themselves leaders and, worse, herald a new female-led era where only women could save mankind from damnation? The Popess is a dark comedy solo-show unravelling the mystery of a true early feminist movement in the Italian misogynistic religious history, investigating the discrepancies between religion, faith and power and, ultimately, the meaning of freedom.
