The emblematic tragedy of Euripides “Heracles the Raging”, was hosted on the evening of Monday July 29 – the show is staged for the second day today, Tuesday July 30 – at the Municipal Summer Theater for the International Festival of Patras.
The theater-loving audience filled the summer theater to capacity and watched a performance centered on Herakles. A mythical face that falls and crashes painfully and from a demigod becomes a miasma, through a merciless game of the Gods.
With this parable that has strong political ramifications, Euripides illuminates the inadequacy and “littleness” of human existence in the face of a higher power – whether it is called Regime Tyranny or God – that destroys the human will and vanishes it into non-existence
The show is directed by Dimitris Karantza from a great troupe, made up of Pygmalion Dadakaridis, George Gallos, Stephania Gouliotis, Iro Bezou, Anna Kalaitzidou, Yiannis Kinis, Aeneas Tsamatis
The music is by Fotis Siotas who, in a prominent role on stage, immerses the audience in the existential anguish of Euripides’ emblematic tragedy.
