Et in Arcadia ego
31.07 — 01.08.2024
19.00
Description
Four actors and a musician travel to Arcadia, seeking fragments of the myth. Their goal is to found a utopian community in harmony with nature, following the tradition of the Arcadian Ideal.
From ancient to contemporary times, Arcadia has been the place onto which European thought has projected the idea of a lost paradise on earth. It is a place where myth and reality blend. At the same time, it reflects the issue of Greece’s heterodefinition, given that many of the thinkers who shaped the perception of Greece never actually visited the country.
How far is the Western European mythical tradition of Arcadia from the modern Greek experience? Can we imagine an ideal society today? Can we imagine a life in harmony with nature, or does something like that come in conflict with our modern lifestyle?
