The Lysistratas
Description :
The performance The Lysistratas approaches Aristophanes’ comedy as a deeply political and profoundly human-centered work, highlighting the power of collective speech, collaboration, and peaceful female resistance against a patriarchal world of violence.
This research-based approach to ancient drama, centered on ritual and the circular orchestral spiral, is framed by musical percussion sculptures that function simultaneously as musical instruments and visual installations, serving the rhythm of the text.
In this way, a shared pulse is created, within which speech, as music, activates the spatial memory of the ancient theatre as a place of communal attunement and collective experience.
Within this framework, the body functions as an instrument of rhythm, memory, and shared lived experience, while the actors align themselves with the purpose of the work, serving a fundamental principle of the collective art of theatre and the legacy of ancient drama, as it resonates through the sites of the Asklepieia.
