SUNDAY 14/12

21.00 “Wyou – Sao Paolo”

Devised theatre performance, on the subject of oneself, as a notion and as a personal (?) reality. In this performance, eight performers are present, while there are four who are always absent- the absent oneself. By «Group theatre»of theTheatre Studies Department of Patras University

22.15 “The Sphinx Game: Part II”

We are playing the «Sphinx game», a digital version of tragedy, where Sphinx’s riddle is turning into a game with fate. The destiny can be reversed if the computer user decodes the time. Then the “game” is over. The Sphinx is incarnated. Nothing can follow the linearity of the events: Sphinx and Oedipus have at least one more possibility to overturn the inevitable. But the possibility is transforming to a trap. Oedipus and other Sophocles tragedy basic protagonists’ roles, are distracted by the digital dimension, are reproduced in a modern reality, and in their turn reproduce the same tragedy. The performance is the second stop– episode, which will lead to the final performance on the subject of «Oedipus Tyrant», which is organized to make premiere in Urbino in Italy, in June 2009.
