A multi-layered, multilingual work, not only because it uses New Media...

Furthermore, the writing of the piece constitutes an interdisciplinary intersection of dramaturgy, psychoanalysis, and philosophy, as the work is co-authored by Chloé Tzia Kolyri and Kakia Goudeli, alongside the director herself.

It is within this contradictory and almost combative juncture that Papakonstantinou, in her Bacchae, dares to center desire and the affirmation of life, combined with the most ambiguous entity bequeathed to us by mythology: that of the god Dionysus. In her subversive approach to this work of classical antiquity, the director highlights once more the core themes that permeate her artistic career: power, gender, and politics.

We bear a responsibility to dare to approach each other, to remain alive, and not to terrorize the depths of our desire. It is a complicated matter... The Bacchae open up this topic; they do not answer it, but they open it towards the affirmation of desire.
