A production situated on the dividing line between lecture, dance, concert and theatre, about tragedies worth living and not worth living. Starting from the chorus of ancient tragedies, the show raises contemporary concerns about collective action and its potential to shape critical interventions, press for social change, and demand the impossible. The star of the show is CHORUS.

The choreographer Sofia Mavragani, in collaboration with the group of performers, creates a heretical chorus to the music of Larry Gus about modern Greek tragedy. Choral odes and the views of important intellectuals of our time are brought together in a single, collective and at the same time original text. The melding of acting, dance, and performance produces a polyphonic and heterogeneous work that makes claims and accusations, and raises questions and doubts. How can one preserve one’s autonomy at the same time as one is being redefined within a group? How can one function as a member of a social group and who decides who those members will be? Whose tragedy is worthy of mourning?
