THEATRON: ACT 1

The concept here was to embrace Greece and all its traditions with valuable legacies of the past by attaching vivid code of aesthetics. The idea is meant to combine Greek mythology with a contemporary depiction of what modern Greece resembles and stands for. Since the theatre resembled a combination of entertainment and democracy, the point was to develop where pleasure and purpose cross and merge. The goal was to research if Athens’ downward spiral can be reversed using theatre to improve a better way of life. This research uses the amphitheater as a platform for discussion, as it could be interpreted as a communal source of references. Therefore, the theatres’ function becomes a game, a symbol, a means of expression, a cultural platform.
