For this international co-production, Elli Papakonstantinou writes in tandem and directs a new piece after Euripides’ Bacchae with an emphasis on an all-inclusive world.
It is a piece across the borders between genres; epistemological borders, scientific, and fictional languages; the borders of gender; the borders between languages and nationalities, those that separate humanity from animality, the living from the dead, and the borders between today and history.
Director’s Note
As a director, I follow the flows of text, live music, video art and dance in search of a new performative language. This piece lies in the intersection of these flows: queer is a new aesthetic: a pop piece with classical operatic bursts, a dance piece with steadiness in its heart, a cinematic concert: it is a Greek tragedy in the metaverse.
