The opening of the visual exhibition of the sculptor Manos Pontikakis entitled “Hypocrites. Faces of Faces and Voices” co-organized by the Acting and Speech Laboratory of the Department of Theater Studies of the University of Patras with the Region of Western Greece, took place on Wednesday evening at the Archaeological Museum of Patras.
The aim of the exhibition is to involve the public in a scientific, artistic and educational experience and connects the Ancient Greek Theater with the Modern Greek Culture of our country, within a space of cultural reference.
The purpose of the exhibition is twofold: artistic and educational. It presents theatrical masks – sculptures, inspired by the tradition of ancient Greek tragedy combined with speech, movement, music and with an educational dimension. The educational dimension of the exhibition, in co-organization with the Ephorate of Antiquities of Achaia, concerns visits to schools (high schools and high schools that teach ancient drama).
The aim is the experiential approach, through the exhibits/sculptures as well as texts that are in dialogue with the forms of the masks in order to encourage the empathic and expressive skills of the students. The exhibition is addressed to schools, the university community and in general to the citizens of the Region, whom it invites to visit it.
Before the tour of the site, a discussion on the subject of masks was held in the lecture hall of the museum. The exhibition will last until April 30.
