Vivian Stergiou draws inspiration from Iphigenia in Aulis by Euripides, focusing on the moment just before the heroine's sacrifice. "It doesn't matter if I die, but first I will be heard," she says, spitting out the words – her unique weapon. And as she monologues, she exists here and now. As soon as she stops, she dies a thousand deaths, in all places. Everywhere and always, the oracle triumphs. Her sacrifice is comical, barely tragic. She digs her own grave and steps inside. A sacrifice for nothing. Flesh for consumption.
Vaggelis Chatzigiannidis writes, inspired by Euripides' Hecuba, a text that is entertaining and uplifting, which demystifies the ultimate symbol of mourning and despair, through the perspective of a person who experienced it closely and perceived things that were never captured in the works of great poets. The common human perspective, the small human measure, against the great myth. The journey of the tragic Hecuba through a slanted, unexpected gaze.
