Sixty years after the first performance at the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus, Neos Kosmos Theatre in co-production with Art Theatre Karolos Koun presents Aeschylus\u2019 \u201cThe Suppliants\u201d directed by Marianna Kalbari. This is a poetic but deeply political play that gives centre stage to the contemporary issue of asylum in democratic societies, especially when it comes to the persecution of women.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The first and only one of Aeschylus\u2019 Danaid Tetralogy that has been preserved, this play features a collective female character as the protagonist: the Chorus of fifty Danaids who run away from Libya and Egypt with their father Danaus, seeking asylum in the city of Argos. Just like their ancestress Io, who strove to escape the torture of a disturbing horsefly sent to her by her pursuer Hera, the Danaids strive to flee king Aegyptus\u2019 fifty sons who demand to forcibly marry them. The myth raises the issue of women\u2019s identity and place in society, while recounting the chronicle of the Hellenic tribe\u2019s settling and predominance in the country of pre-hellenic Pelasgians.<\/div>\n
The Danaids talk about the circumstances that force people to flee their land, the immigrants\u2019 harsh fate, the value of justice and the principles of democracy. Above all, they talk about Woman\u2019s struggle against Man, who demands to forcibly dominate her.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"IKETIDES-01\"The performance redeemingly unites the voices of ancient Greek and today\u2019s heroines through an impressive Chorus of fifteen young women led by Lena Papaligoura and Loukia Michalopoulou in the roles of Hypermnestra and Amymone.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Chorus consists of members of the female choir Ch\u00f3res, new student actors of the Higher Drama School of Art Theatre Karolos Koun, and acrobat dancers of \u201cKi omos kineitai\u201d group (leading performer: Christina Sougioultzi).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Lydia Koniordou takes on the male role of Pelasgos, king of the pre-hellenic Pelasgian tribe which is believed to have been matrilineal. The two roles representing patriarchal authority are played by Akis Sakellariou and Giannis Tsortekis.<\/div>\n
