EURIPIDES BY EURIPIDES // 2021
// a domestic scene for one after the end of reason
Acclaimed creator and performer Euripides Laskaridis, whose work is notable for being at the intersection of dance, theatre and visual arts, creates a new piece specially designed for the Little Theatre of Ancient Epidaurus, in which he explores aspects of ancient and contemporary Greek identity. A new take on antiquity and a form of theatre dedicated to god Dionysus, this new project also delves Laskaridis’ personal mythology, retrieving memories, movements, images, and emotions from our individual and collective past. A new comic tragedy, in which Euripides, willingly or unwillingly, encounters Euripides and other tragic poets.
