Ino,
from the fragments of Euripides' tragedy Ino,
directed by Stergios Kontakiotis.
A music-theater performance focusing on the empowerment of a woman who feels trapped, trying to survive in a universe dominated by men.
Urban aesthetics, dance music, neon lights, and smoke create the atmosphere of her confinement — the arena in which this peculiar battle of the sexes will take place.
The woman moves freely, thinks freely, and exists for herself. Will she manage to overcome the astronaut-man?
Inspired by Euripides’ play *Ino* as well as the various earlier versions of the myth of Ino.
A depiction of the modern Bacchic spirit of clubs as a vehicle for female emancipation. A contemporary tragedy.
The performance uses fragments from the tragedy Ino by Euripides.
