Mythologies

The project is 6 different 1-hour family orientated performances, based on different stories coming from Greek Mythology. The stories are based on Minotaur, Daedalus and Icarus, Heracles, Pegasus and Bellerofontes, Jason, and mythological monsters.
The concept of the performances is that, in each story, an additional element shares a different point of view and opens up a new window to the plot – for eg Icarus’ wings, Thiseas’ thread in the labyrinth etc.
The actor and the composer share the stage, follow the director’s structure and improvise on the given direction as two narrators who use different tools. The takes up the position of the narrator, or of the mythological heroes as well.
