Chrysippus by Dimitris Dimitriadis
“We do not fall in love with other people; we fall in love with that aspect of theirs we ourselves lack.” Hot theatrical director Thanos Samaras poses this theory as he stages a provocative new work inspired by the ancient Greek myth of Chrysippus and its theme of off-limits desire. Tutor Laius kidnaps his ravishing student Chrysippus—son of Pelops and the nymph Axioche—after falling madly in love with him. Set in a contemporary home, this modern version of Dimitris Dimitriadis’ acclaimed play lays bare all stereotypes and social conventions and makes us ponder the essential nature of love, irrespective of roles and genders. In Greek with English sub-titles.
