The ShowAmid a brutal civil war, Adriana becomes pregnant following a violent assault by a soldier.
She chooses to give birth to the child she conceives, naming her son Yonas and raising him with love and hope for the future, whilst shielding him from the truth about his father.
Many years later the young man discovers the truth of his origin, and becomes consumed by the desire for revenge.
In a gripping climax, Adriana tries to convince Yonas that true strength lies in mercy, not murder.
And that, only by breaking the male cycle of violence, will they, and their country, truly be healed.
Righting the wrongs of Tosca, Adriana Mater forms the second half of a bold narrative arc contributing to a season that brings stories of resistance, resilience, hope and what it means to be free.
Experience Adriana Mater as a stand-alone story, or paired with Tosca as the second half of a bold narrative arc contributing to a season that brings stories of resistance, resilience, hope and what it means to be free.
