Bittersweet Reptile
in the Pedion Areos.
For eight performances, the Pedion Areos is transformed into an arena for a modern ritual of erotic empowerment. How do women experience the cycle of eros and how do they survive it?
The audience follows the peculiar feats undertaken by a group of women during an ambulatory performance built on the poetry of Sappho, Matsi Chadzilazarou, and Jenny Mastoraki. How can the three poets, through space and time, be a source of challenge and support?
Through the poetic language and the physical interaction with the space, the six performers contend with the bittersweet reptile of eros, inviting viewers to a different reading of the park and urban landscape and to the use of it as a canvas for their own erotic review.
